From Philadelphia, I travelled to Princeton, NJ one evening for a talk at a Unitarian Universalist church.  We had an excellent turn out, and I enjoyed speaking with members of the congregation and the minister. Many attending the talk are actively engaged in efforts to alleviate suffering in the world, and some are vegans.  It was beautiful to see so many open minded people interested in compassion, and seeking to live in a way that is humane and consistent with their ethical values.
