Pennsylvania and the United States as a whole are currently fighting one of the worst epidemics in recent years: prescription drug abuse. Overdose deaths from prescription painkillers have quadrupled since 1999, and Pennsylvania has a higher overdose rate than most other states (“Prescription Drug FAQ”). The most commonly abused prescription drugs are opiates. Opiates usually come in pill form and are prescribed to reduce pain. Some common opiates are Vicodin, Morphine, Fentanyl, and Codeine, which all can lead to heroin use (“Prescription Drugs & Cold Medicines”). As painkillers become less freely available to abusers, many turn to using heroin because it is cheaper and easier to find. An average of three out of four heroin users report having abused prescription painkillers prior to ever using heroin (“Prescription Drug FAQ”). Prescription painkillers and heroin effect the brain in similar ways, which can lead a person to addiction and overdose.

Darcey Laine will present “Faith at the Crossroads” Unitarian Universalism claims as one of the sources of our living tradition “Wisdom from the world's religions.” In truth many of us grew up in another tradition- Christian, Jewish, Pagan or Wiccan and were shaped by more than one faith as we grew into what we believe today. UU is therefore something of a crossroads faith where these traditions meet and mingle. What does it mean to our own faith journey to be at this crossroads?
