November Meeting Topic: Fred Edwords on "Sailing on the Rising Tide of Humanism" Over the past few years, with the rise of the “New Atheism,” interest in humanism is growing. And the more recent billboard and bus campaigns have stoked the fires of enthusiasm. How can Ethical Culture societies and other humanists groups benefit from this secular "coming out"? How can they capture this interest to help their membership grow? Fred Edwords, a former executive director of the American Humanist Association, now heads up the United Coalition of Reason. Over his 30 year career as a humanist leader he has lectured, debated, and taught on humanist philosophical issues and effective outreach techniques. He has appeared on national and local television in the United States and Canada, has been interviewed on radio and for newspapers around the world, and has lectured in North America, Europe, and India. Directions: The Baltimore Ethical Society is located at 306 West Franklin Street. (Rt. 40 west) in the heart of Baltimore between Howard and Eutaw Streets. Take I-95 north, merge onto I-395 north via exit #53 toward Downtown, Inner Harbor. Take Martin Luther King Blvd. exit. Turn right onto W. Mulberry St. (US 40 East). Turn left onto Park Avenue. Turn left onto West Franklin Street (Rt. 40 West), and proceed one block. NOTE: Anyone interested in helping to set up a Baltimore or Washington Coalition of Reason should try to attend this meeting. BES asks for donations. For more information about BSH, see http://bsh.wash.org |

3 attended (est.) – No rating yet October Meeting Topic: The music of Susan Werner Humanism has been criticized that it doesn't inspire the kind of music that religion does. For this reason, the music of Susan Werner deserves special attention. Werner is a professional musician with folk, jazz, and classical influences. She wrote a CD “The Gospel Truth” with songs that she calls “agnostic gospel.” The songs criticize fundamentalist religion, comment on ethical behavior, and make clear comments about agnostic thinking. We will play selections from the CD and discuss it. Location: The Orient Restaurant, Towson. Directions: Take Baltimore Beltway exit 26 or 27 (York Road or Dulaney Valley Road) through the traffic circle to York Road, and go three blocks on the right to the Orient. Take a left to the parking garage on Chesapeake. For more information about BSH, see http://bsh.wash.org |

September Meeting Topic: What does Genesis really say? A close reading of the two creation stories in the Book of Genesis shows that they depend on the translation, and they don't actually say what creationists seem to think. We will play the audiotape of a lecture by Prof. Gary Rendsburg, professor of Jewish History at Rutgers University, on a Teaching Company lecture series “The Book of Genesis.” Location: The Orient Restaurant, Towson. Directions: Take Baltimore Beltway exit 26 or 27 (York Road or Dulaney Valley Road) through the traffic circle to York Road, and go three blocks on the right to the Orient. Take a left to the parking garage on Chesapeake. For more information about BSH, see http://bsh.wash.org |
