Sunday Platform – Richard Koral: “Savoring Delight” w/ Musical Guest Stuart Fuchs (Online)

February 28, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:15 pm

Beauty is alive in the faces, the places, and the objects around us. We need to stop and recognize it from time to time, even when the world seems to turn hostile and unwelcoming. Let’s explore the way we resonate with life and the universe.

Sunday 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.
