This Sunday, we’ll hear about a proposal for an Elected Civilian Review Board for the police department, to fit in with our ethical theme of “Trust.”
We will hear from Curtis O’Neal, MD, MS. Dr. O’Neal is a graduate of Weill Cornell Medical College currently serving as the Assistant Program Director for a Bronx-based Intensive Mobile Treatment team. His work focuses on improving mental health care delivery to vulnerable populations through the integration of clinical education and advocacy. He is grateful to show how the efforts of the Campaign for an Elected Civilian Review Board (ECRB) aim to build trust and support equal justice by holding police accountable.
(The Society has not taken a position on the proposal.)
When this country was considering a Declaration of Independence from England, Abigail Adams wrote to her husband, John Adams, part of the group considering the future: “Remember the Ladies.” Here it is, 142 years later, and women in the United States are still working towards an equality that treats them as persons of worth, not mere objects, in many aspects of law. In between, many have worked for the rights and dignity of women, not only in America, but around the world. The journey is not yet complete; there is a long way to go.

Our views on what women can be are shaped by the images we see on screen. But who creates those images? When the majority of film and television is directed, written, and produced by men, women are largely misrepresented in or even written out of our culture’s narrative.

So friends and filmmakers Katrina Medoff and Tracy Sayre took action. In just one year, they made 17 short films with over 300 professional female filmmakers. They created the Women’s Weekend Film Challenge to tackle the gender imbalance in Hollywood and the harmful ways this disparity behind and in front of the camera influences our society.
Find out how you as an audience member can join this movement and redefine how women are represented on screen.

Life is a journey, and within life are many journeys. Some are chosen, some are forced on us. Every journey begins with a leaving and ends with an arriving, though the end points aren’t always that clear. Sometimes we follow roadmaps, and sometimes we are making new paths.
Our Clergy Leader, Jone Johnson Lewis, will reflect on the journeys of our lives, how we manage the space between leaving and arriving, and how we can be supportive of others on their journeys. What can we learn from human experience, practical ethical philosophy, and the science of human behavior?
