Podcasts about american ethical union

This episode is a bonus cross-post of a salon session about Sentientism with the American Ethical Union back in February 2022 hosted by Hugh Taft-Morales. Amy Halpern-Laff and I (Jamie Woodhouse) presented the Sentientism worldview and we had a great Q&A session with the group. If you prefer video you can watch the session on the AEU YouTube channel here. Find out more about the AEU on their website here. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what's real?” & “what (and who) matters?” The Sentientism worldview answers those questions with a commitment to "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." Find out more at ⁠⁠⁠Sentientism.info⁠⁠⁠. Join our ⁠⁠⁠"I'm a Sentientist" wall⁠⁠⁠ via ⁠⁠⁠this simple form⁠⁠⁠. Everyone, Sentientist or not, is welcome in our groups. The biggest so far is ⁠⁠⁠here on FaceBook⁠⁠⁠. Come join us there!

Matthew Dowd on what Republicans think about their voters- They don't think you matter. My keynote speech to the American Ethical Union. A Biden compromise? Matthew Dowd was not pulling any punches. He went all out to tell an unfortunate truth. One hopes that enough Republicans listen to his prose before it is too late. The indoctrination must end. One must take their heads out of the sand. The American Ethical Union held its 106th Assembly on June 9th, 2021, under the theme “Addressing The Whole Truth About America.” Politics Done Right‘s Egberto Willies was the keynote speaker. Egberto's keynote speech title was “Empowering Us All Makes Our Demands Undeniable & Attainable.” Is America all that it should be? All that it could be? Is America living up to its aspirations?

Actions and Limits interview Daryl Davis; author, musician and race relations expert.He is not white. He’s not even light-skinned. Make no mistake about it; he is Black. Yet, Klan-Destine Relationships author Daryl Davis has come in closer contact with members of the Ku Klux Klan than most White non-members and certainly most Blacks — short of being on the wrong end of a rope.What’s more? He continues to do so, making him one of the most unique race relations experts and activists today. Originally from Chicago, but currently residing in Maryland, just outside of Washington, DC, Daryl Davis is a musician, actor, author and lecturer. He earned his Bachelor of Music Degree from Howard University and is an accomplished Blues, Rock'n'Roll, Country, and Jazz musician, performing and touring regularly with his own Daryl Davis Band.He has worked extensively with The Legendary Blues Band and Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley’s Jordanaires, Percy Sledge, and Sam Moore, among others. After a performance in a Country music bar, a man told Daryl he’d never seen a Black man play piano like Jerry Lee Lewis. Daryl explained, both he and Lewis learned from Black Blues and Boogie Woogie pianists. The man didn’t believe in the Black origin of the music but became a regular fan of Daryl’s. Turns out, he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.This experience led to Daryl becoming the first Black author to travel the country interviewing KKK leaders and members, all detailed in his book, Klan-Destine Relationships, the first book written by a Black author interviewing KKK members. Accidental Courtesy is a new documentary about Daryl Davis and his work in race relations.Over the last thirty years in between gigs, Daryl Davis has walked on the edge with one foot dangling over the precipice. His stories of setting up surprise meetings with Klan leaders unaware of his skin color and attending KKK rallies, has the suspense of Hitchcock, keeping audiences riveted to their seats in disbelief. He is one man successfully taking on the oldest (150 years) and most racist and organization in the United States, by himself.He eventually became the recipient of robes and hoods from Klan members who came to rescind their beliefs after coming to know him. Davis had inadvertently stumbled upon a successful method of forming friendships between sworn enemies. His methods have made him the center of controversy. In some white circles he has been deemed “politically incorrect” and in some black circles he has been called an “Uncle Tom,” and an "Oreo." Daryl Davis often makes supporters out of his detractors by proving his methods work and issuing this challenge: “I have Klan robes and hoods hanging in my closet, given to me voluntarily by members who have quit the Klan since coming to know me. That’s what I’ve done to improve race relations. How many robes and hoods have you received as a result of your methods?”As a race relations expert, Daryl Davis has received acclaim for his book, Klan-Destine Relationships and his work in race relations from many respected sources including: CNN, CNBC, Good Morning America, The Learning Channel, National Public Radio, The Washington Post, The Washington Times, and The Baltimore Sun. He is the recipient of the The American Ethical Union’s Elliott-Black Award, The Washington Ethical Society’s Bridge Builder, and the Search for Common Ground Award among others. As an actor, Daryl has appeared in the critically acclaimed television show The Wire and a number of stage plays and movie roles.For more information, please visit DarylDavis.com Send your questions into ActionsandLimits@gmail.com to get your questions featured on the show. Keep taking Action and destroying those Limits.

Lambert, author of Separation of Church and State: Founding Principle of Religious Liberty. In this, his latest book, he corrects the claims of revisionist "historians" like David Barton that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, and that separation of church and state is a myth promulgated by a conspiracy of left-wing elitist academics. Dr. Lambert is professor of History at Purdue University, where he teaches courses on Colonial and Revolutionary American History and American Religious History. He is the author of eight books, including The Founding Fathers and the Place of Religion in America and Religion in American Politics: A Short History.
