The philosophy of Ethical Culture respects the beliefs of each member. No one is bound by any community creed or dogma. Ethical Societies emphasize the importance of developing a clear personal philosophy that makes your life understandable and meaningful. Learning to benefit from a diversity of viewpoints is one of the challenges of membership.
Members encourage each other to think freely and disagree without being disagreeable.
If there is a single instinct in me that is stronger than any of the rest, it is the instinctive desire to be truthful with myself and others. I will not be self-deceived. I will look life straight in the eye. Felix Adler 15.
