At the regular Sunday Platform of the Ethical Culture Society at 11 AM, Sunday, September 18-the Sunday before the International Day of Peace (Sept. 21)-Martha Gallahue, our Interim Leader, will share experiences from The National Peace Academy that can transform our perspective from despair due to climate change, political fragmentation, and growing economic inequality to hope in the human ability to make necessary adaptations toward resilient community.
Martha defines peace according to the Earth Charter, "Peace is the wholeness created by right relationship with ourselves, others, other cultures, all life, Earth, and the greater whole of which we are all a part."
She explains, "We may no longer be able to fix the damage caused by war and earth's depredation, but we can transform to a loving approach moving forward. Earth has the right to benefit from human presence and we will all be better for it when that happens."
The Society is located at 516 Prospect St., Maplewood on the NW corner of Prospect St. and Parker Ave. The Peace Garden is in the backyard of the building. A MapQuest.com map of the location is linked at http://tinyurl.com/3352c7o.
