 UU Minister Ruth Rinehart will provide a historical overview of understanding addictions; the rise of the religious 12 step movement, why it doesn’t work, and  a new secular 12 step movement – what works without a supernatural god.  Rinehart says of herself: “I have been sober for 40 years and entered seminary in 2012 a typical 12 step theist.  I graduated Iliff School of Theology as an atheist, and now identify as a Religious Humanist.
