SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Nori Rost: "All Is Well\, Just Not Yet" (Online)
DESCRIPTION:We’ve rounded the corner on a year of social distancing\, virtual relationships\, and shuttered buildings; theatre and concert venues are cautiously opening to reduced crowds. Many of us have been longing to return to business as usual\, but those days are gone. \nHow can we go forward into this new normal? How can we learn the lessons this pandemic has taught? And how are we to go deeper into the mission of our ethical union as we face the challenges this pandemic has left behind? \nDr. Nori Rost has travelled a circuitous path in search of truth and meaning. She was a minister with Metropolitan Community Church (a queer Christian denomination) for almost 20 years before making a UU turn 13 years ago. Since 2008\, she has served as minister of the All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church. \nNori calls herself an “optimistic humanist” and believes we each have within us something that calls us to our highest selves. Whether that’s the evolutionary impulse that first led us ashore\, the universal innate experience of love\, or something else\, she’s still following that call and is always in awe of the miracles and mysteries of life in its most common forms. \nShe is passionate about social justice and has been involved in social rights activism since she was 17. She is an outspoken advocate for justice and equity and has received numerous awards and recognition for her work. \nNori holds a Master of Divinity from Iliff School of Theology in Denver\, Colorado\, and a Doctor of Ministry from the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge\, Massachusetts. She also holds a Certificate for Spiritual Direction from the Benet Hill Center in Colorado Springs\, Colorado. \nClick here to join at start time | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424 \nPresider: Barbara Carlsen \nThis Week’s Charity: Rise & Root Farm \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event. These gatherings educate\, stimulate personal growth\, inspire reflection and action\, and strengthen our community. Sunday meetings usually begin with music\, followed by greetings and a talk given by a Society Leader\, member\, or guest.  Platforms cover a variety of topics that reflect current events\, pressing social issues\, and Ethical Culture philosophy. A collection basket is passed and money is shared between the Society and a charity selected for that day.  While contributions are always appreciated\, Sunday meetings are free and open to the public.  Each Sunday meeting is followed by a luncheon and social hour. \nTo view previous Sunday Platform addresses and interviews\, visit the Ethical NYC YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Great Literature Discussion: The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño (Online)
DESCRIPTION:In this dazzling novel\, the book that established his international reputation\, Roberto Bolaño tells the story of two modern-day Quixotes—the last survivors of an underground literary movement\, perhaps of literature itself—on a tragicomic quest through a darkening\, entropic universe: our own.

All are welcome to join and any edition or translation of the book under discussion can be used. Read the work in advance and be prepared to discuss the aspects of interest to you by referring to specific related text and reading it to the group. Moderated by Ethical NYC member Gunther Tielemans. \nFor complete access information\, including Meeting ID\, please see this week’s Ethical Weekly email or contact Gunther.\n \nYou can download Zoom at https://zoom.us/download\, although it’s not necessary to do ahead of time.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Randy Best: "Staying Connected Across The Political Divide" (Online)
DESCRIPTION:In today’s increasingly polarized environment\, it is increasingly difficult to communicate across the Political Divide and maintain relationships. How do we separate the personal and the political? It is particularly difficult when people that we care about are on the other side. How can we keep relationships with those with such differing versions of truth and reality? How can we connect without compromising our values? Does maintaining relationships lead to complicity in aberrant views? When is confrontation productive or necessary? \nRandy Best has been a life-long member of Ethical Culture. Born in St. Louis\, Randy grew up attending the St. Louis Ethical Society\, where his mother is still an active member. Since 2016\, Randy has served as the Leader of the Northern Virginia Ethical Society. He is also Dean of Leader Training for the American Ethical Union. Previously\, he was Leader of the Ethical Humanist Society of the Triangle and the Ethical Society Without Walls. \nRandy received a B.A. from Grinnell College and a Master’s Degree from Harvard University. He is a graduate of the Humanist Institute\, a certified Mediator\, and Pastoral Counselor. Randy divides his time between Northern Virginia and Durham North Carolina\, where he lives with his wife Sarah Howe\, a ceramic artist. They have four grown children whom they homeschooled. \nClick here to join at start time | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424 \nPresider: Steve Serling \nThis Week’s Charity: Rise & Root Farm \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Curt Collier: "The Emergence of Biocentric Ethical Culture" (Online)
DESCRIPTION:A unique outlier in many respects\, Ethical Culture has allied itself and been a home to many philosophical partners over the years\, including humanism\, free thought\, progressivism\, religious liberalism\, agnosticism\, atheism and so forth. Adherents to these belief systems have found a home because of Ethical Culture’s emphasis on deeds above creeds and its work towards many issues common to liberal and progressive agendas. Despite these similarities\, Ethical Culture is also radically different than these beliefs. Had Adler continued living into the present age\, how would he have applied the Ethical way of life to modern environmental and societal challenges? \nCurt Collier is the Interim Leader of the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County\, and has served as Leader of three other Societies during his nearly 20 years of service. Collier is also the National Youth Program Director for Groundwork USA\, an organization created by the National Park Service and the EPA to help raise the capacity of communities to deal with local environmental challenges. He has created a number of programs with federal partners and supporting agencies to create environmental job training\, resume building experiences\, and career pipelines for diverse youth of color in multiple states. \nClick here to join at start time | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424 \nPresider: Sarah Sprott \nThis Week’s Charity: Rise & Root Farm \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event. These gatherings educate\, stimulate personal growth\, inspire reflection and action\, and strengthen our community. Sunday meetings usually begin with music\, followed by greetings and a talk given by a Society Leader\, member\, or guest.  Platforms cover a variety of topics that reflect current events\, pressing social issues\, and Ethical Culture philosophy.

SUMMARY:Pathways to Ethical Culture: "Felix Adler’s Philosophical Challenge" (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Adler was a philosopher with a moral mission facing an urgent problem that we continue to confront in the modern world: How do we ensure that the human being has inherent worth? How do we philosophically guarantee that human beings are not merely expendable when doing away with them will serve a compelling purpose? Adler believed that traditional religion did not effectively do this\, nor could science. Where did he turn to find the answer? This presentation will delve into his creative solution which inspires Ethical Culture to this day. \nThis series in an orientation to Ethical Culture directed at our newer members as well as veterans of our Society who want to deepen their knowledge of Ethical Culture. The interested public is invited as well. Each session will be a combination of a presentation and a discussion. \nFor more information and to receive recommended readings\, please contact Membership Coordinator Maggie Determann at mdetermann@nysec.org. \nAbout this series: \nEthical Culture is a humanist community that esteems ethics as its core precept\, human worth and dignity as its central value\, and community\, sustainability and freedom as its principal goals.  Where did Ethical Culture come from?  What does it say to us today regarding the human condition? What is its unique contribution for our lives and our future? \nJoin us for a five part program that explores the origins\, the history and the values of Ethical Culture – from its founding a century-and-a-half ago to the 21st Century.   The topics will be: \n\nThe social and intellectual roots of the Ethical Culture Movement.\nFelix Adler’s philosophical challenge – How to prove inherent worth of the human being in a harsh and precarious world when one abandons traditional reliance on God and the supernatural?\nEthical Culture’s rich social justice history in the age of reformation and the modern era.\nThe NY Society and Ethical Culture’s place in today’s world of modern humanism.\nLiving Ethical Culture – How it offers a life of meaning\, growth and authenticity.The Program is facilitated by the Society’s Leaders: Dr. Joseph Chuman and Dr. Richard Koral.   Meets monthly for one hour on the 3rd Wednesday of each month\, March through July at 2:00 p.m. on Zoom.\n\nClick here to join at start time | ID 814 7073 5630 | Passcode 158119\nFor complete join details\, please also see our daily event emails. \n\nYou can download Zoom at https://zoom.us/download\, although it’s not necessary to do ahead of time.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents" By Isabel Wilkerson (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Caste points to our entire social structure as an unrecognized caste system. Wilkerson agrees that America is indeed racist. She says that we tend to refer to slavery as a “sad\, dark chapter” in America when in fact it lasted for hundreds of years—but\, in order to maintain a social order and an “economy whose bottom gear was torture\,” it was necessary to give Blacks the lowest possible status. Whites\, in turn\, got top status. In-between came the middle castes of Asians\, Latinos\, indigenous people\, and immigrants of African descent.
