Refugees: Our Best Teachers for Global Citizenship

martha-gallahueMartha Gallahue, Ethical Culture Leader
Andra Miller presides

Human beings today are at a crucial turning point in their evolutionary journey, one where the choice is between moving forward as a species or devolving into an unthinkable outcome of this 6th great extinction. 1 out of every 350 persons now has refugee status.   What is the interface between the 1 and the 350? How can we engage in the issue if we choose the evolutionary path? What can we learn  in this world crisis? We will discuss the topic in the context of  preparedness, participation and progress.

Presently at the United Nations, Martha Gallahue is an Alternate ECOSOC representative for United Religions Initiative. She serves on several advisory or steering committees including the Source of Synergy Foundation, Breaking Walls, the Coalition for Global Citizenship 2030.

The New York Society for Ethical Culture is a humanist community dedicated to ethical relationships, social justice, and environmental stewardship. Entry to our 100-year-old building and meeting rooms is wheelchair accessible. For events in our Auditorium and Social Hall, please call ahead  (212-874-5210 x121) and plan to arrive one hour before start time.
