Stephen G. Cary Memorial Lecture 2025

Stephen G. Cary Memorial Lecture 2025: Earthquake, Wind, and Fire – Seeking the Calm Center: Monday, September 8 at 7:30 pm

We are living in a time of “earthquake, wind, and fire.” Many of us are searching for the “still, small voice of calm,” a Living Center, where we can hear the voice of the Divine and find the strength to carry on.

Max Carter will deliver this year’s Stephen G. Cary Memorial Lecture, drawing on his time teaching at Ramallah Friends School, and his subsequent work to support peacemaking efforts in Israel and Palestine. 

What lessons can we learn from the work of those living through war and catastrophe in Palestine and Israel, as they speak truth to power in the cause of a just peace? How might their experience inform us as we seek a calm Center in the eye of the storm?

• This 1.5-hour lecture on Monday, 9/8 at 7:30 p.m. is free and open to the public.
