About us
We are a friendly group focused on ethical living, community connection, and bringing out the best in people. We explore together what it means to live ethically as individuals, in relationships, and in the larger world. Ethical Culture was founded in 1876 as an alternative to traditional religion. The focus is on human lives and relationships, rather than theology and ritual. Our core belief is in the inherent worth and dignity of each individual. Moved by what we see in the surrounding community, we collaborate to deliver meals and supplies to the Grace Solutions shelter for unhoused individuals in San Jose. We are a listening, caring, mutually supportive, and fun-loving fellowship. Learn more at our website, and pick an event here on our Meetup page to give us a try. Welcome!

Friday AM ethics discussion: your role as a citizen
·OnlineOnlineThe midterm elections are over and the votes are (mostly) counted and now we reflect on our role as citizens. Did we vote? Did we do something else related to the election in the role of a citizen? Poll worker? Write postcards? Attend or watch candidate forums? Research down ballot offices and measures? Advocate for or against ballot initiatives (in CA)?
To get yourself thinking, read this piece in The Humanist, the magazine of the American Humanist Association:
https://americanhumanist.org/directors-note/The elections are the news of the week, so let's talk. Not about winners and losers, or how we feel about the outcome, but about our role in the election process as citizens. What is our responsibility as a citizen in an election?
Please join this group. Invite others! Bring your unique point of view and add to the discussion.
