SUNDAY PLATFORM 10:30 am<br>
March 8, “Embracing Contradictions” by Fritz Williams, Leader Emeritus
The Baltimore Ethical Society<br>
Fritz writes, “I believe in cultivating opposite, but
complementary views of life, and I believe in meeting life’s challenges
with opposing strategies. I believe in reckoning with life’s ultimate
meaninglessness even as we fall in love with the miracle of being
alive. I believe in working passionately to make our lives count, but
also in never losing sight of how insignificant they really are. I
believe in caring deeply and in rising being beyond caring. It is by
encompassing these opposites, by being totally involved and vulnerable,
but simultaneously transcendent and detached, that our lives are graced
by contentment and joy.”<br>
Fritz Williams is Leader Emeritus of the Baltimore Ethical
Society and is currently spending time thinking and writing. He
performs weddings and commitment ceremonies and speaks at the Society
on occasion. He has worked as a parish priest in the Episcopal church,
and as a writer and producer at public TV stations in Harrisburg, PA,
and Detroit, MI .<br>
