SUMMARY:Abortion: Three Solutions to the Social Issue
DESCRIPTION:The decision on whether or not to terminate a pregnancy has existed for as long as the realization that it was possible.  What came with it was generations-long explorations of biological and moral imperatives\, gender roles\, personal responsibilities\, religious beliefs\, and much more.  In America\, issues surrounding the choice of ending a pregnancy crystallized in the ’60s\, and remained unresolved despite the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.  EHST friend and frequent contributor Solomon Gibson will give a presentation that points out the basic problems of the issue\, pros and cons of the momentous court decision\, some of its effects\, and three solutions that may serve to settle this important issue.

SUMMARY:What is Humanism Anyway?
DESCRIPTION:James Coley\, an EHST member\, philosopher\, and radio host of “Ethics Matters\,” will speak to us about the concepts of Humanism through the lens of the Humanist Manifesto III.  What are its key points?  This is a must for anyone who is a Humanist\, or is curious about what Humanism is.  You may view the historic first Humanist Manifesto (1933) via this link.  The second manifesto (1973) can be viewed via this link. (These prior manifestos will not be covered in his talk\, but are provided for your own curiosity.) \nEHST members should attend this program to help them determine whether the Humanist Manifesto III represents their own orientation to Ethical Humanism.  EHST will consider whether to change from being an affiliate of\, to a chapter of the American Humanist Association\, at a meeting to be announced later this year.

SUMMARY:Without A Compass
DESCRIPTION:Local author Martin Terrell will discuss his new book\, a memoir\, “Without A Compass.”  Here is what Amazon.com says about the book and its author:  Without A Compass follows a young man born into a situation where the odds are against him. After the death of his mother he constantly struggles to escape his stepfather and Cincinnati’s notorious West End. Undergoing many changes against a backdrop of drugs\, poverty and prison\, he finds his purpose through involvement with the historic social movements of his generation. After overcoming bitter set-backs\, he finds redemption through an unforeseen combination of individuals and events. Without A Compass shows how frightening\, difficult\, and even ostracizing\, earning a college degree can be if you live on Gest Street in Cincinnati or on any other street like it anywhere in the country. \nMartin Terrell and his wife Jeanette live in Chapel Hill\, North Carolina\, with their pampered dog\, Charlie. Now retired\, Martin worked for more than twenty years as a “professional beggar\,” as he puts it. The former Campaign Manager and Major Gift fundraiser enjoyed raising funds for both universities and non-profits. He is co-author of the Social\, Political and Economic Contexts of Public Relations\, a Journalism graduate school textbook\, and of a children’s book\, Amanda Salamander Discovers the Secret of Happily Ever After. Without A Compass is his first memoir.
