SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Nori Rost: The Ethics of Imagination (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Notice: this week’s Sunday Platform will be online only. \nIn her essay To Love the Marigold\, in the book\, The Impossible Will Take a Little While: A Citizen’s Guide to Hope in a Time of Fear\, edited by Paul Loeb\, Susan Griffin writes\, \nLike artistic and literary movements\, social movements are driven by imagination. I am not speaking here only of the songs and poems and paintings that have always been part of movements for political and social change\, but of the movements themselves\, their political ideas and forms of protest. Every important social movement reconfigures the world in the imagination. What was obscure comes forward\, lies are revealed\, memory shaken\, new delineations drawn over the old maps: it is from this new way of seeing the present that hope for the future emerges…No one can stop us from imagining another kind of future\, one which departs from the terrible cataclysm of violent conflict\, of hateful divisions\, poverty and suffering. Let us begin to imagine the worlds we would like to inhabit\, the long lives we will share\, and the many futures in our hands. \nJoin us on this first Platform of 2022 as Dr. Rost explores the power of our imagination in creating a future filled with hope. \nAbout Leader Dr. Nori Rost \nUntil coming to join us as Leader at NYSEC\, Dr. Nori Rost served the All-Souls Unitarian Universalist Church in Colorado Springs\, CO as their settled minister for 13 years. Prior to that she was a minister with Metropolitan Community Church (a queer Christian denomination) for almost 20 years. \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 many awards and recognition for her work. \nNori holds a Master of Divinity from the Iliff School of Theology in Denver\, Colorado\, and a Doctor of Ministry from the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge\, Massachusetts. In addition\, she holds a Certificate for Spiritual Direction from the Benet Hill Center in Colorado Springs\, Colorado. \nWatch Online! – Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424 \nPresider: Pat Debrovner \nShared Charity: Students for Justice \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 our Videos page and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Great Literature Discussion: Nutshell by Ian McEwan (Online)
DESCRIPTION:This week’s discussion is on Nutshell by Ian McEwan: \nAs Trudy’s unborn son listens\, bound within her body\, to his mother and his uncle’s murderous plans\, he gives us a new perspective on our world\, seen from the confines of his. McEwan’s brilliant recasting of Shakespeare lends new weight to the age-old question of Hamlet’s hesitation\, and is a tour de force of storytelling. \nLiterary works will be discussed based on what can be found in the text in order to enrich each other’s interpretation of the novel/novella. 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 access information\, please contact Gunther.
