Pain, Loss, Love: An Ethical Humanist Perspective
Ethical Society of Northern Westchester
Jim White is now Leader at the Riverdale-Yonkers Ethical Society in New York, but his first "gig" as a Leader was at the Essex Society in Maplewood, NJ. His talk shares about how Humanists can experience pain of varying kinds in their lives and often use the pain as an inspiration for living a more ethical life.

Living Ethically Daily: Choices That Make a Difference
Michael Bogdanffy-Kriegh first gave this talk at the NY Society for Ethical Culture in April 2005. Michael tends to be an "early adopter" for technology.

John Lovejoy Elliott - Spiritual Discoveries http://aeu.org/library/display_article.php?article_id=2110 
In the beginning of this piece John Lovejoy Elliott tells us " My ultimate faith in the Ethical Movement and my hope for the future of religion in this world are founded on my associations with living men and women." I don't know what year Elliott wrote that in, but I'm guessing it was before 1933 when Felix Adler died. My ultimate faith in the Ethical Movement and my hope for the future of Ethical Culture certainly are founded on my associations with living men and women, including you who are reading this. Yet I am happy that we have ancestors to call on, to study, to provoke our own thoughts and actions.
