SUMMARY:Coming of Age Program Info Session (Online)

Families are invited to enroll their older teens in our coming-of-age program\, whose guiding principle is to provide a safe and creative environment\, and ethical grounding\, to empower every young adult to blossom within our community. The age at which this transition takes place varies in society\, as does the nature of the transition. It can be a simple legal convention or part of a ritual as practiced in many societies and religions. \nIn our diverse community\, we welcome young people who are seeking an opportunity to mark their life path with a process and celebration focused on \n\nSelf-inquiry\nWorld awareness\nPersonal and social responsibility\nCommunity service\n\nRecognizing that children mature at different rates\, we meet with children and parents to determine when a child is ready\, and the curriculum is geared to the needs of the individual and family. With a Humanist anchor\, we will explore a world of ideas and values together. \nTK

DESCRIPTION:Bring your lunch and join Leader Dr. Nori Rost and members for an engaging round-table discussion on the issues of the day and recommended readings. \nIn a few days\, our Jewish friends will celebrate Yom Kippur. I thought this was a fitting time to talk about forgiveness. Both the willingness to ask forgiveness when we offend someone and the willingness to forgive others who have offended us. Is it healthy? What are the benefits? Why can it be so hard for people (even Ethical people!) to acknowledge when they’ve done harm and seek forgiveness. Why can it be so hard for people (even Ethical people!) to forgive someone—whether or not they have apologized? \nhttps://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/in-depth/forgiveness/art-20047692 \nA Quick Guide to Forgiveness \nClick to join at start time | Zoom ID 861 1417 5760 | Passcode 347145 \nCOVID-19 NOTICE: Only fully-vaccinated Society members are invited to attend in-person.

SUMMARY:Share and Learn: Arts Hobbies and Handiwork: "The Maine Art Collective: Four Artists in Maine Making Art and Doing 'Wicked' Good"
DESCRIPTION:The goal of Maine Art Collective is to create opportunities and visibility for talented local Maine artists. Art doesn’t have to be only for the affluent\, it should be accessible for all populations to enjoy. MAC is run by artists\, for the benefit of artists and members keep the majority of the profits. This allows for the artists to sell their work at more reasonable prices\, making artwork more accessible to broader populations. \nSue Vittner will begin by describing the origins of the Maine Art Collective (MAC). She can speak to the origin and mission of MAC. How was the idea formed? What was the original vision\, and how does that compare to what exists now? How was that vision developed and actualized? Who was recruited to the effort? How does MAC support artists? How does the MAC model differ from most galleries? and why? What is MAC’s community housing initiative? What does the future hold for MAC? \nAmy Kelly\, a member of MAC from the outset\, will review her initial involvement and what drew her to participate in MAC’s formation. How did the MAC model align with her painting process and values as an artist? How has her connection to Maine\, lobstering and the sea\, influenced her art? How did she develop the skills to produce her striking representations of that connection? \nFaith Garnett\, the gleaming star of this Zoom group\, will review how she became interested in card making\, how she has developed her skills in designing and producing hand-crafted one-of-kind cards for all occasions\, including the founding of her on-line webstore for those designs\, Lindennotes.com. She will review her process of creation and display some of her work. In addition she can describe her involvement with Cards for Kindness. \nMichael Garnett will describe how He came to be interested in papercutting\, and provide a slideshow of the the making of one particular papercut from start to finish\, a view of Bug Light in South Portland. \nClick to join at start | Zoom ID 884 1105 5819 | Passcode 140176\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the Zoom ID above.

SUMMARY:Puffin Interview Series with Dr. Joe Chuman: Randy Balmer\, Ph.D. (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Bad Faith: Race and Rise of the Religious Right by Randy Balmer\, PhD\n\nBuy the book here. \nDirect link to YouTube: https://youtu.be/XCelAkEobBs\nWebsite link with more info: https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/puffin-interview-series-with-dr-joe-chuman-randy-balmer-phd/\nThere is a commonly accepted story about the rise of the religious right in the United States. It goes like this: with righteous fury\, American evangelicals entered the political arena as a unified front to fight the legality of abortion after the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.The problem is this story simply isn’t true.Largely ambivalent about abortion until the late 1970s\, evangelical leaders were first mobilized not by Roe v. Wade but by Green v. Connally\, a lesser-known court decision in 1971 that threatened the tax-exempt status of racially discriminatory institutions—of which there were several in the world of Christian education at the time. When the most notorious of these schools\, Bob Jones University\, had its tax-exempt status revoked in 1976\, evangelicalism was galvanized as a political force and brought into the fold of the Republican Party. Only later\, when a more palatable issue was needed to cover for what was becoming an increasingly unpopular position following the civil rights era\, was the moral crusade against abortion made the central issue of the movement now known as the Religious Right.In his book\, “Bad Faith: Race and Rise of the Religious Right\,” Randy Balmer guides  the reader along the convoluted historical trajectory that began with American evangelicalism as a progressive force opposed to slavery\, then later an isolated apolitical movement in the mid-twentieth century\, all the way through the 2016 election in which 81 percent of white evangelicals coalesced around Donald Trump for president. The pivotal point\, Balmer shows\, was the period in the late 1970s when American evangelicals turned against Jimmy Carter—despite his being one of their own\, a professed “born-again” Christian—in favor of the Republican Party\, which found it could win their loyalty through the espousal of a single issue. With the implications of this alliance still unfolding\, Balmer’s account uncovers the roots of evangelical watchwords like “religious freedom” and “family values” while getting to the truth of how this movement began—explaining\, in part\, what it has become.Randy Balmer\, PhD holds the John Phillips Chair in Religion at Dartmouth College\, Dartmouth’s oldest endowed professorship. He previously taught as professor of American religious history at Columbia University for twenty-seven years. In his scholarship\, Dr. Balmer focuses on Christianity’s interrelationships with American politics. He has written widely on this topic in books such as God in the White House: How Faith Shaped the Presidency from John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush\, The Making of Evangelicalism: From Revivalism to Politics and Beyond\, and Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory: A Journey into the Evangelical Subculture in America—the latter adapted into an award-winning documentary for PBS. \nAbout the Interview Series & Dr. Chuman: \nThe Puffin Cultural Forum is proud to present our “Puffin Interview Series with Dr. Joe Chuman.” On the first Sunday of every month Dr. Chuman will delve into and explore the work of renowned authors through meaningful dialogue in an intimate interview format.
