March 8, "Embracing Contradictions" by Fritz Williams, Leader Emeritus
The Baltimore Ethical Society
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."
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 .
