Reflections: A Journal on Ethical Culture Ideas and Community Life
Edited by Joe Chuman

ECjournal

Reflections is an online journal providing essays of opinion on the ideas animating Ethical Culture and the enrichment of its cultural life. Each issue will invite responses on a common theme. Writers are drawn from the National Leaders’ Council of Ethical Culture and contributors from the wider Ethical Movement.

We hope you enjoy reading Reflections and it will inspire discussion about the issues it raises. We invite your comment. For February 2019, the question is:

“Ethical Eating” has emerged as a topic of consideration and programming at various Ethical Societies. Interest has arisen out of concern for animal welfare, environmental sustainability, economic resources, health and other factors.

Should Ethical Societies develop explicit policies with regard to which foods are served at Ethical Culture activities? Moving Societies toward vegetarianism and veganism has been promoted, but how is this best done? How can policies be advocated while avoiding moralism or alienating those who hold different positions as to the predilections and values that guide their eating choices?

On the second-to-last day of #WomensHistoryMonth, we honor the work of Emma Goldman, a political activist who advocated for anarchism, free expression, sexual liberation, birth control, and worker’s rights. An outspoken atheist, Goldman put forth a vision of society that is humanistic in its assertion that human beings themselves have the capacity to make the world a better place. She defined atheism as “the concept of an actual, real world with its liberating, expanding and beautifying possibilities.” In boldly speaking out against religion, Goldman affirmed ideals that continue to resonate with humanists today.#Humanism #WHM2021 #WHM ...

Today is the International Day of Remembrance of t Today is the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. 

For over 400 years, more than 15 million men, women, and children were victims of the tragic transatlantic slave trade—a period now referred to as “the worst violation of human rights in history.” They faced brutal white supremacy and violence while fighting for their freedom. 

On this day, we honor not only those who suffered and died as a result, but also those who work to end the racism and prejudice that still exist today.
