Ethical Culture Journal February 2019

15 Feb 2019

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?

American Ethical Union

The American Ethical Union has passed a resolution--Defending the Right to Vote--to "stand up for a democracy that protects our values and our constitutional right to cast our vote." The words of the resolution are contained in the graphic as a reminder of the importance of protecting this precious right. You can also read the resolution at aeu.org/resource/2019-defending-the-right-to-vote/. Please do read it.

The resolution cites many concerns about ways in which our right to vote is being eroded and why it needs to be defended and then points to multiple ways to defend it. Certainly we need to exercise our right to vote at every opportunity, but we also need to work together to ensure that everyone who is eligible to vote can get registered and have convenient access to the ballot.

Where to begin? Anywhere. When to start? Now. What to do? Everything you can.
