Ethical Society Without Walls

Of the more than 25 Ethical Culture Societies listed on the AEU website, The Ethical Society Without Walls is surely the most unique. This "virtual society" is for those who pine for an Ethical Culture Society but don't live near one, although all are welcome. Here you can participate in online discussions and courses, read Platforms, blogs and news, and even download early learning curricula, all from within the Ethical Culture fold.

This reporter participated in an ESWoW teleconference (a toll free number is available). The number of callers was not great, but it lasted as long as a
brick-and-mortar Platform and included participants from places like Massachusetts and Wisconsin. Leader Susan Rose lead a discussion on the pending addition of the AEU to the Secular Coalition for America (see earlier article on this blog), which occasionally digressed into pleasant anecdotes from all online. It felt good to participate and I had stuff to talk to others about after the phone call had ended.

Check it out this virtual Society. You won't be sorry.
