This blog has been created as a project of the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County, New Jersey. The purpose of this blog is to provide an online venue for members and friends to engage in an ongoing, freewheeling dialogue about the issues that are relevent to the work of the society. This blog is designed to complement our official website.
For those who are unfamiliar, the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County is a religious, progressive and humanistic community. While most religions are concerned with ethics, only Ethical Culture puts ethics and human flourishing at the center of the search for a meaningful life.
Ethical Culture is also a unique religion in that it is non-theistic. We deal with all aspects of human behavior, the physical world and even spirituality without addressing a reality outside of nature. In fact some members consider it a philosophy. The philosophy is fluid and growing, but it is rooted on the simple principle that for the world to become a better place, we must all bring out the best in ourselves and each other. To that end, we put deed before creed and acknowledge the basic worth of every human being.
We have been a community in Teaneck, New Jersey since 1953 and we offer a full range of programs. We welcome people of all heritages -- ethnic, religious and racial. The way we look at is this: If you are an ethical person who is not currently practicing the religion you were born with, you may already be practicing ours.
