SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Richard Koral: "Celebrating Darwin Day\, or How I Learned to Love Change" (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:In-person and online! \nDarwin’s proofs overthrew the traditional view that the world was created as we saw it; that there was a natural order we could rely on. Instead\, he showed us that the world is ever-changing and is always struggling to find a new balance. How can we find new balance in our own lives in an ever-changing world? \nDr. Richard Koral has been a Leader at the New York Society for Ethical Culture since 2017. Richard holds degrees from New York University and New York Law School\, and a Doctor of Ministry in interfaith pastoral counseling from the Hebrew Union College. He is the Leader Consultant to the Social Service Board and numerous committees in the Society. Active with the American Ethical Union\, Richard served on its Board as president from 2012 to 2015. He also serves as part-time Leader for the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island. \nNotice: Only fully-vaccinated individuals are invited to attend in-person at this time. \nWatch Online! – Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424 \nPresider: Barbara Carlsen \nPartner Organization of the Month Collection: The Innocence Project \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.

He worked for more than four decades at the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) becoming first the Director of Litigation and then the President of what Alexander Cockburn called “a small band of tigerish people.” He was also the President of the National Lawyers Guild. In 2007 he won the Puffin Prize for Creative Citizenship. \nRatner handled some of the most significant cases In American history. This book tells why and how he did it. \nHis last case\, which he worked on until he died\, was representing truth-telling whistleblower and now political prisoner Julian Assange\, the editor of WikiLeaks. \nRatner “moved the bar” by organizing some 600 lawyers to successfully defend habeas corpus\, that is\, the ancient right of someone accused of a crime to have a lawyer and to be brought before a judge. \nZachary Sklar\, edited “Moving the Bar” for OR Books\, and Michael Smith\, who wrote the book’s introduction. \nBuy the book here. \nAbout Leader Dr. Joe Chuman \nJoe Chuman recently retired as the Leader of the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County\, a community he served beginning in 1974.

SUMMARY:Great Literature Discussion: The Boat by Nam Le\, Stories 5-7 (Online)
DESCRIPTION:With a jaw-dropping versatility of voice and point of view\, The Boat is an extraordinary work of fiction that guides us to the heart of what it means to be human. The seven stories take us across the globe\, from the slums of Colombia to Iowa City; from the streets of Tehran to a foundering vessel in the South China Sea. \nAmong many accolades this book won Australian author Nam Le the 2008 Dylan Thomas Prize\, the world’s top cash prize for young writers. Michiko Kakutani (New York Times) called the opening story “a singular masterpiece.” \nAbout GLD \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.
