We are a rational, caring, inclusive community of people from many different backgrounds and traditions. Our focus is upon the ethical values people have in common, not on things that keep us apart. Coming this week: Our Sunday morning programs run from 10:30 a.m. to noon. These programs are free and open to the public. There will be no program on Sunday, September 5th, in observance of the Labor Day holiday. Dorothy Lockhart, longtime Society member, historian, and office administrator, who died in June, will be honored at a special memorial at the Society on Thursday, September 9th, at 6:30 p.m. Dorothy’s son David invites all who knew her to come and share their memories. JoAnn Hoeppner will officiate. Refreshments will be served afterward. Next week: ROBERT PRICE, professor of theology at Coleman Theological Seminary and the Center for Inquiry Institute, opens our new season on Sunday, September 12th. His topic is “The Gospels: History or Literature?” Price will dissect the biblical myths about Jesus, suggesting that the Christian Gospels, though of valuable help, weren’t meant as factual accounts. He will refer to the science fiction TV comedy Galaxy Quest, in which intercepted adventure tales were mistakenly assumed to be historical documents. Second Saturday Coffeehouse September 11th, 8:00 p.m. Our Second Saturday Coffeehouse, hosted by Vicki Elberfeld, is on September 11th. Featured performers will be storyteller/actor Judith Heineman and bard Dan Marcotte, in the darkly humorous “Grimm’s Grimmest: The Darker Side of Fairytales.” The program starts at 8 p.m., with open-mike (any genre, acoustic-only) signup at 7:30 p.m. The $5 minimum charge includes refreshments. The program starts at 8:00 p.m. Doors open at 7:30. Click here for more information.   Sign up for our Email Lists!     Help Support the Ethical Humanist Society: Need to buy something from Amazon?
