Hugh Taft-Morales, Teacher
Ethical Humanist Leader in Baltimore and Philadelphia

This platform will be delivered in hybrid format, which means you can attend the platform via Zoom or in person at the Impact Hub Baltimore. Masks are optional.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German Lutheran pastor, resisted Naziism and paid for it with his life. After 18 months in prison for participation in the German resistance, Bonhoeffer was hanged on April 9, 1945. Although they differed theologically, Ethical Culture founder Felix Adler and Bonhoffer shared some characteristics. Both were born in Germany. Both spurned materialism, craved unity, embraced reason, and accepted suffering. And both felt a duty to act to save others. Hugh Taft-Morales explores how Bonhoeffer’s example can support our justice work today.
