What Ethical Culture means to your society:
"Our new leader, Curt Collier, says the veracity of our ethical beliefs is only as good as our capacity to truly connect with one another. He is also discussing with us the need for a new kind of Ethical Culture congregation for a new kind of American. Drawing from his 15 years of experience working with young Americans on environmental challenges, Curt argues that our Ethical Culture congregations need to meet the needs of a more technologically savvy, more diverse, and more communally engaged generation who place an emphasis on deeds before creeds."
An example of what you're doing to address a key issue affecting your community:
"Our Society has set up a fund to support relief efforts for the Ukrainian people. Once conditions on the ground allow, a delegation from the Ethical Culture movement will be traveling to Eastern Europe to assess needs and find partners for using the funds for redevelopment in an equitable way. Those interested in donating may contact Administrative Director David Bland at admin@ethicalfocus.org."
