Carolyn A. Parker continues her Heroes of Ethical Culture series with Anna Garlin Spencer.
During her lifetime, Anna Garlin Spencer stepped beyond the narrow confines of what was expected or allowed for women of her generation. No childless cat lady, she broke barriers for herself and for others. For a while, we were privileged to hear her wit and wisdom as Anna Garlin Spencer taught ethics to Ethical Culture.

Our political turmoil has deep historical roots. Although the Constitution ensured church-state separation, many American secular principles stem from Calvinist theology. In this talk, Professor Curt Collier examines how 300 years later, hidden theological influences may be blocking progress toward a brighter future.

Spring is a time of planting seeds that will become plants. What seeds are you planting in your life?
The purpose of Colloquy is to help participants, in a communal setting, “delve more deeply into the depths of their own being and to develop the habit of self-reflection, to live in a closer conformity to their stated beliefs and to find a source of inspiration.”
During a Colloquy, participants reflect on a theme introduced by a facilitator. Sharing about the session’s theme often promotes deeper insight.
This is a hybrid event followed by our monthly pot luck lunch.
