Shop and Share for NC Society for Ethical Culture
Sunday, November 4, 2:00 -5:00
Ethical Culture was founded by Felix Adler in 1876. Ethical Culture is a
humanistic, religious, and educational movement working to create a
better world through ethical actions. We are dedicated to the ideal that
the highest value is human worth and that our relationships to each
other are of greatest ethical concern. Our commitment is to the worth
and dignity of the individual and to treating each human being so as to
bring out the best in him or her. Members join together in ethical
societies to assist each other in developing ethical ideas and ideals,
to celebrate life's joys, and support each other through life's crises.
Ethical Culture contains little creed or dogma. It's basic values and
principles can be found in the "Eight Commitments of Ethical Culture"
<http://www.ncethicalsociety.org/Commitments.shtml>. We force no one to
subscribe even to these, but the mainstream of Ethical Culture endorses
these committments. For more information on Ethical Culture, including
books you can order, click here <http://www.aeu.org/whatis1.htm>.
The North Carolina Society for Ethical Culture (NCSEC), founded in 1987,
is one of 22 societies in the United States which form the American
Ethical Union. We meet every Sunday from 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. at The
Arts Center, 300-G East Main Street, Carrboro, N.C. (see map)
<http://www.ncethicalsociety.org/Directions.shtml>. Platform meetings
are the first and third Sundays of the month. Community leaders,
professors, social activists, as well as members from our own society
inform the society on ethical issues confronting our local community, as
well as issues of national, and international importance. This is
followed by a question and answer session. Fellowship and refreshments
are available before and after the platform meetings. Childcare for
toddlers and above is provided for platform meetings. The second and
fourth Sunday's meetings are discussions centering around the platform
topic of the preceeding Sunday. All meetings are open to the public.
One World Market will donate 10% of all sales during the event to the NC
Society for Ethical Culture.
