KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Former Lake County resident Caroline Knowles-Hance will lead the Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County service on Sunday, Oct. 7.
The service begins at 11 a.m. at the church, which the congregation shares with the Kelseyville United Methodists, 3810 Main St. in Kelseyville. Guests are always welcome.
The title of the sermon is, “Our Mirror Neurons: Templates for Wisdom, Terror and Grace. “
Of her topic, Knowles-Hance said, “New discoveries in neuroscience show that our human brains are actually 'hardwired' for empathy and imitation. We will explore both the blessings and afflictions of our capacity to mirror immediately the acts and intentions of others, and our choices in how we live our lives with the patterns laid down within us.”
Knowles-Hance has completed her studies at Starr King School for the Ministry. Her current work is with veterans, serving as Chaplain to Swords to Plowshares in the San Francisco Presidio, consultant to the Coming Home Project and member of the Board of the Interfaith Center in the Presidio.

SACRAMENTO – Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. on Saturday signed two bills to promote civil rights and religious freedom, following his remarks at the North American Punjabi Association’s Peace & Unity Rally at the State Capitol.
The rally was held to honor the victims of the Aug. 5 shooting at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
“Sikh Americans are loyal citizens who have been targeted because of widespread ignorance of their religion and culture,” said Gov. Brown. “The bills I sign today aim to ensure that Californians learn about our Sikh citizens as well as protect all of us from job discrimination based on religious observances.”
AB 1964 by Assemblymember Mariko Yamada (D-Davis) clarifies that the practice of wearing religious clothing or a religious hairstyle as a belief or observance is covered by protections under the Fair Employment and Housing Act.
SB 1540 Senator Loni Hancock (D-Oakland) requires the State Board of Education to consider adopting a revised curriculum framework and evaluation criteria for instructional materials in history-social science.
