Free Market of Ideas

The Free Market of Ideas of the First Parish Universalist Church of Stoughton offers a wide variety of programs of enrichment, education, and enlightenment on an extensive array of spiritual, cultural, and social issues.

Through our Free Market of Ideas, we at First Parish seek to reach out to our communities and raise the level of public discourse on matters of common concern, as well as to introduce to the general public ideas and concepts that might not be readily available elsewhere.

Programs of the Free Market of Ideas are held at the church on a regular basis, and are always free of charge. You are always most welcome to attend any of these events that might be of interest to you!

A Special Reprise Presentation

An Inconvient Truth

We are very pleased to announce that our church will once again host a special presentation of the groundbreaking film, An Inconvenient Truth. Many observers believe that humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced.

If that sounds like a recipe for serious gloom and doom -- think again. From director Davis Guggenheim comes An Inconvenient Truth, a film which offers a passionate and inspirational look at one man's fervent crusade to halt global warming's deadly progress in its tracks by exposing the myths and misconceptions that surround it. That man is former Vice President Al Gore, who, in the wake of defeat in the 2000 election, re-set the course of his life to focus on a last-ditch, all-out effort to help save the planet from irrevocable change.

Please join us for this important presentation. All concerned people are welcome, and admission is free.
