SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Joe Chuman: What Humanists Can Learn from the Religions
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. In-person and online! \nThe religious character of Ethical Culture can be infinitely debated. But what is certain is that Felix Adler founded Ethical Culture a religious movement\, though on the extreme left-wing of religious belief. As Ethical Culture evolved into an explicitly humanist movement\, for many members it became identified as a secular in its basic commitments. This tension remains in Ethical Culture. \nTo the extent that it has veered toward a secular (and for some even an anti-religious worldview) in my opinion Ethical Culture has ceded essential values that are viewed as primarily the possession of the religions\, though there is no reason all people of good-will\, who strive to live ethical lives should not appreciate them. Among these values are reverence\, repentance\, atonement\, grace and forgiveness. \nMy address will be an exploration of these values\, as well as others\, and how appropriating them for ourselves can enrich our lives. \nWatch Online: Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the Zoom ID above. \nAbout Joe Chuman\nLeader Dr. Joe Chuman started on his road to Ethical Leadership as a leader-in-Training here at the New York Society in 1969 and continued his training at the Bergen Society\, after which he became Leader of the Essex County Society before returning to the Bergen Society\, where he served as leader for 46 years\, retiring in January 2021. Joe has been a leader at the New York Society Since 2008. During his long career\, Joe has worked as an academic\, a social justice activist\, a speaker\, and a writer.

SUMMARY:Ethics and the Theater: 4000 Miles by Amy Herzog
DESCRIPTION:FREE! Two Readings: Sunday afternoon\, January 21 at 1:30pm and Tuesday afternoon\, January 23 at 2:00pm! \n4000 Miles\nby Amy Herzog\nWhen Leo shows up at Vera’s New York apartment late at night\, he’s exhausted\, dirty—and unexpected. He has been on the road\, biking from Seattle\, and has not communicated with anyone since a tragic accident that occurred en route. Vera\, his grandmother\, who last saw Leo years ago at her husband’s funeral\, welcomes him with wary affection. Over the course of the next several days\, the two become reacquainted\, struggling\, often comically\, to bridge the gaps between them and form a common front against the pain of living and loss. \nStarring Patricia Bruder Debrovner\, Luke Hofmaier\, Jenny Leona\, Yi Liu\, and Bonnie Bean. Directed by Kathy Gail MacGowan. Produced by Pat Debrovner. \nJoin us for a pre-show reception at 1:00pm\, and post-reading talkback exploring the ethical issues raised in the play! \nRSVP on Eventbrite \n4000 Miles is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French\, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com.
