Arab-Israeli Conflict
Written by Patrick Everett Tuesday, 28 July 2009 16:25
As Humanists, we have an obligation to understand the undercurrents in what may affect the peace of the world. The Israeli/Palestine conflict, and Israeli interactions with the Arab world are all part of a tinder box that could flare up in the coming years, if we do not help find a solution to the problems. I would like to bring attention to those who may not be familiar with it, a homegrown joint American/Israeli organization that has significant input to perhaps helping the situation, with a very balanced approach. I commend attention to the following URL which presents a meaningful understanding of the problems and how the US can contribute to solutions: http://peacenow.org/features.asp?rid=&cid=3361

We have continued our program of potlucks in member's homes. One on May 21, had as topic "What is Humanism". Another on June 13 had as topic "The 13.5-billion year Creation story", kicked off by showing the first 15 minutes of the video "View from the Center of the Universe". Both the book and video are by Joel R. Primack and Nancy Ellen Abrams. Enjoyable discussions were had in each case, as well as convivial general conversation, accompanying gourmet potluck dinners. Many thanks to our hosts!

Thank you all who supported our Founding Meeting at a parishioner’s home on January 8. We had 46 come on that snowy Thursday, plus some who couldn’t make it.
