Ethical Society of Asheville 5.00 5.0013

The Ethical Society of Asheville is a humanist, non-theistic alternative to traditional religion and a member organization of the American Ethical Union. The American Ethical Union is affiliated with the American Humanist Association, the International Humanist and Ethical Union, and the Secular Coalition of America. Our meeting topics are educational, philosophical and of current interest. We are inspired by the ideal that the supreme aim of human life is working to create a more humane society. We endeavor to nurture the capacity and responsibility of human beings to act in their personal relationships and in the larger community to help create a better world. 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. We join together to assist each other in developing ethical ideas and ideals, to celebrate life's joys and support each other through life's crises, and to cultivate ethical behavior in the community around him or her.

Our regular meetings are held the 3rd Sunday of each month at the visitor center in the Botanical Gardens, 151 W.T. Weaver Blvd. (next to the University of North Carolina-Asheville), 2:00 - 3:30. Meetings have a topic and presentation followed by a discussion period. An informal discussion/social time follows meetings.

"Putting Ethics into Action!" is the topic for the November 15th meeting of the Ethical Society of Asheville. At this meeting we will follow up on our September and October meetings (which dealt with difficulties of living on a minimum wage and housing for the homeless) in an effort to develop a project which will have an impact on one or both of these issues.

 Nice group of people who are interested in supporting ethical living from a humanist perspective rather than a theist perspective.

      “living a life without the ability to be immediately consoled by a doctrine or personal god can leave one feeling anticipatory about how 'truth' may really be revealed. a group that centers itself upon the idea of ethics would be conducive to growth”
