Sunday Gathering: Why Ethics Matter More than Ever

At a time when outrage is profitable, division is rewarded, and many people feel powerless to influence the forces shaping their lives, choosing to live ethically can seem like a radical act. Yet, every day we make choices that either strengthen compassion or indifference, cooperation or distrust, courage or fear.

At this season-opening Gathering, Leader Curt Collier will exploreswhy Ethical Culture remains profoundly relevant in the 21st Century.

Together we will examine how ethical living is not simply about holding the right beliefs, but about creating the conditions that bring out the best in ourselves, one another, and the larger world we share. In a society often focused on what is broken, we will ask what becomes possible when ordinary people commit themselves to the ongoing work of building a more humane, just, and life-affirming culture.

Inspired by Ethical Culture Founder Felix Adler’s vision that we should “elicit the best in others and thereby in ourselves,” this talk is an invitation to begin a new year of ethical action, community, and hope.
