SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Joe Chuman: What Humanists Can Learn from the Religions
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. In-person and online! \nThe religious character of Ethical Culture can be infinitely debated. But what is certain is that Felix Adler founded Ethical Culture a religious movement\, though on the extreme left-wing of religious belief. As Ethical Culture evolved into an explicitly humanist movement\, for many members it became identified as a secular in its basic commitments. This tension remains in Ethical Culture. \nTo the extent that it has veered toward a secular (and for some even an anti-religious worldview) in my opinion Ethical Culture has ceded essential values that are viewed as primarily the possession of the religions\, though there is no reason all people of good-will\, who strive to live ethical lives should not appreciate them. Among these values are reverence\, repentance\, atonement\, grace and forgiveness. \nMy address will be an exploration of these values\, as well as others\, and how appropriating them for ourselves can enrich our lives. \nWatch Online: Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the Zoom ID above. \nAbout Joe Chuman\nLeader Dr. Joe Chuman started on his road to Ethical Leadership as a leader-in-Training here at the New York Society in 1969 and continued his training at the Bergen Society\, after which he became Leader of the Essex County Society before returning to the Bergen Society\, where he served as leader for 46 years\, retiring in January 2021. Joe has been a leader at the New York Society Since 2008. During his long career\, Joe has worked as an academic\, a social justice activist\, a speaker\, and a writer. He has been teaching human rights in the Graduate School at Columbia University for more than 20 years\, teaches human rights at Hunter College\, and has taught at the U. N. University for Peace in Costa Rica and at other colleges. \nAs an activist\, Joe has advocated for civil liberties\, human rights\, and other progressive causes and has frequently testified before the New Jersey legislature on such issues as religious freedom\, gun violence prevention\, death penalty opposition\, and immigrant rights. He founded the Northern New Jersey Coalition for Asylum Seekers 20 years ago and still serves as its president. Joe has written numerous book chapters\, encyclopedia entrees\, scores of Op-eds\, and is the author of “Speaking of Ethics\,” a compilation of essays on Ethical Culture. Currently\, he writes articles on political and socio-political issues on Substack and other social media outlets. \nMonthly Collection\nUplifting Afghan Girls in New York \nAbout Sunday Platform\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.
