Ethical Humanism, also known as Ethical Culture, is a humanistic religion and educational movement inspired by the ideal that the supreme aim of human life is to strive to create a more humane and compassionate society. Our faith is in the capacity and responsibility of human beings to act ethically in their personal relationships and in the larger community to help foster a better world. Our commitment is to recognize the worth and dignity of each human being and to act so as to bring out the best in him or her and to thereby elicit the best from ourselves.
Members join together in Ethical communities to celebrate life's joys and support each other through life's crises and to work together to improve our world and the world of our children.
