Ethical Culture Leader, Lois Kellerman, often noted that “the smallest ethical unit is two” and that it takes at least two parties to be ethical. In this country that has been noted for its respect for “rugged individualism” it’s easy to forget that one can’t truly be good (in an ethical sense) by oneself. And Ethical Humanism takes that notion further, insisting that ethical goodness is a product of numerous interactions experienced with numerous people over an extended period of time. It “takes a village” to bring ethics to life, and Ethical Communities ought to work to help their village – and beyond – realize greater ethical capacity and an increase in compassion, equity, and joy for each and all.

In this talk, WCEC clergy leader, Bart Worden, will speak to ways he believes Ethical Communities may engage in actions to grow their ethical capacities and be ever more effective agents for ethical living.

Please note: this will be Bart’s last platform address before his retirement at the end of this month.
