Celebrating How We Got Here – The American Ethical Union

In the era of the Third Great Awakening when the Free Religious Association was formed around such moral causes as the abolition of slavery and women’s suffrage, a 27-year-old reformed Rabbi, Felix Adler, spoke out: “There is a great and crying evil in modern society… It is that narrowness of vision which shuts out the wider vistas of the soul… Where the roots of private virtue are diseased, the fruit of public probity cannot but be corrupt.”  Almost 150 years after the founding Platform of Ethical Culture (1873), this program will feature members, friends, and guests  from Ethical Culture/Humanist societies across the country who will review the major accomplishments of the ethical movement and share personal reflections about “How We Got Here”.  This will be followed by breakout groups for additional reflections. The Platform will also highlight a number of musicians in the Ethical Culture movement. 

This program will is presented by the American Ethical Union, our national organization of which we are a chapter. It will be presented via a Zoom session. You do not need a Zoom account to “attend” this program.  If you would like to attend this  meeting, please email us at info@ncethicalsociety.org and provide your first and last name in your request.
