To provide an ethical and practical foundation for creating a Culture of Conscience, the study of a document, called “Towards a Global Ethic,” may be helpful. This document was first presented at the initial Parliament of World’s Religions in 1893. In it there is a remarkable, insightful analysis of our contemporary social circumstances and plans for active improvement of human interactions and living conditions. Moral principles of a Global Ethic are discussed. The document contains five Directives, three of which have been the focus of two previous forums at the Institute in January 2024. These two are available for viewing on the IWC which have been the focus of two previous YouTube Channel (see link below).
The last two Directives will be the focus of today’s forum.
Nancy Martin, retired Montessori teacher, Peace Corp volunteer in African and member of the local USA-UN (United Nations) will share her thoughts on directive four, “Commitment to a Culture of Equal Rights and Partnership between Men and Women”, and Hugh Kelly, Chair of the Board and long-time volunteer for Mesa Harmony Garden, a non-profit organic food garden that supports the local Food Bank and the community, will speak on the subject of “Commitment to a Culture of Sustainability and Care for the Earth”.
