Ethical Action in a Time of Upheaval

It is hard to keep current with all the issues of ethical fairness being created by our current administration so to keep up, please visit the AEU Resolutions page, and the AEU Ethical Action page. And if you can't find an Ethical Society near you, you can now join the AEU as an individual - check it out here.

Are you looking for a progressive humanist community?

We are part of a humanist religious movement started with the New York Society for Ethical Culture, founded by Felix Adler in 1876. Our own Society was started in the 1950's and has been guided and nurtured by our Leader, Dr. Robert Berson, since 1986. Visit our About page to find out who we are, what we believe, what we wish. We think you may be one of us already!

We meet weekly as a congregation to remind ourselves what is needed to be an ethical person helping to create a just and caring society. Our Ethics for Children program is in session during our platform.
