Conflict Reduction Strategies and Love/Friendship Styles
2021-04-11 13:30 - 15:30 | Virtual Program using Zoom
Life coach Suzanne MacDonough will speak about conflict reduction strategies stemming from the 9 love/friendship styles.

The topic of conflict reduction is one that Ms. MacDonough has extensively studied, as a ‘life coach’, in her trainings through international corporate consulting companies.

Partisanship, Fascism and the Common Good: Defining Public Ethics After the January 6th Insurrection
2021-03-28 11:00 - 12:30 | Virtual Program using Zoom
EHST will be participating in the all American Ethical Union program featuring Rep. Jamie Raskin.
Congressman Jamie Raskin (MD-8) was Lead House Manager in the second Senate impeachment Trial of former President Donald Trump, which ended with a 57-43 vote to convict and was the most bipartisan presidential impeachment process in U.S. history. A professor of constitutional law, bestselling author, and former Whip of the Maryland State Senate, Raskin has been on the frontlines of defending democracy against authoritarianism in our time and authored the successful House Resolution calling on Vice-President Pence to activate the provisions of the 25th Amendment after the failed coup of January 6th to prevent any further descent into chaos and violence at the hands of Donald Trump.
Raskin introduced the Resolution adopted overwhelmingly by the House (386-3) in the first week of December in 2020 calling for release of all religious prisoners on earth and for repeal of all nations’ blasphemy, apostasy and heresy laws, which involve imaginary offenses and are notoriously used to oppress and persecute innocent people.
Rep. Raskin is co-chair of the Congressional Freethought Caucus which he co-founded with Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA). Raskin came to the attention of freethinkers nationally when he testified in the Maryland State Senate in 2006 against a proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage and answered a right-wing Senator who asserted that the Bible “defines marriage as one man and one woman” with this retort: “Senator, with all due respect, when you took your oath of office you put your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible.”

Remembering and Honoring the Life of Eva Harrington
2021-03-21 13:30 - 15:30 | Virtual Program using Zoom
EHST will hold a virtual memorial service for Eva Harrington who died in 2020. She was a longtime supporter of Ethical Culture both at EHST and in New York. We welcome her friends and family to join us. AEU Leader Randy Best will facilitate our program. Here is a very brief review of her life:
Eva Harrington, who passed away on March 15th, 2020, was a long-time member of the Ethical Humanist Society of the Triangle. Born in Vienna, Austria on July 4th, 1921, she witnessed Hitler’s anschluss in March, 1938, followed by the incarceration of her father and uncle in the Dachau concentration camp. After their release in 1939, Eva and her parents emigrated first to England, then to the United States, arriving in 1940.
She met her surviving husband, Ralph Balzac, at the Ethical Society of Northern Westchester in 1990. They moved to North Carolina in 1994 and immediately joined EHST (then called the Ethical Culture Society of the Triangle).
Eva was an extremely bright and warm person, deeply committed to her community and to her work as a guardian et litem. She was very welcoming to visitors to EHST, resulting in several new members joining the society. Trained as an accountant she served many terms on the board as Treasurer, swapping duties with Ralph as the allowed length of service ended. She and Ralph opened their home for many EHST events over the years, including an annual Thanksgiving potluck dinner for their EHST family.
She was predeceased by her daughter, Susie Goldfrank, a former AEU president and is survived by 3 grandchildren and 8 greatgrandchildren. She is deeply missed by all those who knew her.

Climate Change and Its Effects on Human Health
2021-03-07 13:30 - 15:30 | Virtual Program using Zoom
NC State Prof. Jay Levine will speak to us about how climate change is negatively impacting human health. Of course, the disparities in wealth will cause the most harm to those on the lower rungs of the economic ladder. The 1% of the population who is wealthy may have nothing to worry about, but 99% of the rest of us in the US will. So whose health will be impacted the most? Prof. Levine will give us his perspective.

I Have A Theory - Darwin Day Reflections
2021-02-14 13:30 - 15:30 | Virtual Program using Zoom
Our society is currently plagued by many wacky theories. In the dictionary, there are multiple definitions of the word theory, most having not much to do with science. For scientists, a theory is something special, pure and rigorous, right? Well, maybe. Consider Gregor Mendel, an Augustinian friar whose published research led us on a direct path to understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind the theory of evolution. For Darwin Day, let’s consider how the theory of inheritance has evolved, starting with Mendel. My theory and hope is that this will be instructional. EHST member Fred Breidt will provide us with these reflections.

What do our shared values lead us to do now in order to cultivate a world in which we bring out the best in each other and ideas are allowed to flourish without threat of violence? Our panel of thinkers from within our movement will draw from philosophy, history, and Ethical Culture tradition. We’ll be joined by Dr. David Sprintzen, Professor Emeritus at Long Island University and Christian Hayden, Leader-in-Training at the Ethical Society of St. Louis.

America: What Went Wrong?
2020-10-11 11:00 - 12:30 | Virtual Program using Zoom
EHST will be joining with the Philadelphia Ethical Society at 11 a.m. to hear James Steele talk about his book “America: What Went Wrong? The Crisis Deepens.” Here’s more about the book: “Long before Covid-19 ravaged the economy, millions of middle-class Americans were struggling with another crisis—stagnant earnings, unaffordable health care and the prospect of an impoverished retirement. This is no accident: Barlett and Steele vividly reveal how Congresses and presidents of both parties repeatedly make decisions that favor the few at the expense of most Americans. But the authors show that this need not be. To make the American dream a reality for all Americans, our government must reassert itself on behalf of all the people—with regulatory oversight that balances public safety with business interests, more equitable tax policies, and programs that assure all Americans of basic health care and a decent retirement.”
