What we’re about
Ethical Humanism (aka Ethical Culture) is a humanistic, congregational community promoting the cultivation of ethical values founded on reason and science and inspired by the love of humanity. 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. Agnostics, Theists and Atheists are all welcome.
The Ethical Humanist Society of the Triangle (EHST) meets regularly every Sunday. Programs include community leaders, professors, social activists, and our own members inform the society on ethical issues confronting our local community, our nation, and the global community. This is followed by a Q & A session. Refreshments are provided. All meetings are open to the public. For more information about Ethical Humanism and EHST, visit our website at https://ehstnc.org
Note that our attendance averages about 25, and that many of our attendees do not use Meetup. We use Meetup to expand our reach to those who are like minded. Please come check us out! Our meetings are free and open to the public. If you wish to attend via Zoom, please let us know!

Upcoming events (1)
See all- Is this it? Entering the “Economic Idiocracy”Extraordinary Ventures, Chapel Hill, NC
John Delafield, founder and former CEO of Renewable Energy Services, will talk about renewable energy in three parts:
1) Where do we find ourselves?
2) Why are we here?
3) What are we up against? and why it matters.
He will illustrate these points by referencing the Solar Energy industry.
Renewable Energy Services (RES) has been delivering clean power solutions to U.S. communities since 2013. Based in Durham, RES has completed dozens of solar-based installations in North and South Carolina as well as Virginia. Many more are being planned. And the projects will not only help reduce carbon emissions. They will provide jobs. John is passionate about the impact of solar energy on the economy because he has the facts. Currently, the U.S. has about 45,000 people working in the coal industry, but six times that many are employed with solar energy. Sticking with fossil fuels rather than solar – a move being championed by the Trump administration – is a losing proposition in John’s opinion. A graduate of UNC, John has spent years working with community leaders to bring renewable energy solutions and jobs to our towns.This meeting is a Zoom “hybrid” meeting. We will meet at our regular venue, Extraordinary Ventures, where the program will take place. We will also Zoom the program.
