Sunday Platform is our most important community event. These gatherings are intended to educate, stimulate personal growth, inspire reflection and action, and build a sense of community.
Sunday meetings begin with a musical prelude, and are followed by greetings, songs, and a talk given by a Society Leader, member, or guest speaker. Talks cover a variety of topics that reflect current events, social issues and Ethical Culture philosophy.
While contributions are always appreciated, Sunday meetings are free and open to the public. Each Sunday a Society member is available afterwards to welcome newcomers, answer their questions and accompany them to our Lunch and Social Hour.
Young Ethical Explorers
Our version of Sunday School, Ethics for Children is designed for youngsters from four to 13 years of age and takes place concurrent with our Sunday Meeting. Sessions raise issues of personal identity and integrity, appreciation and respect for others, and knowledge of religions, philosophies, and social concerns. Topics are explored in an age-appropriate way through discussion, storytelling, dramatization, music, art, games, and field trips.
Lunch & Social Hour
A community lunch is held after each Sunday meeting. This offers time for socializing and participating in ethical action activities.
Free to newcomers!
Sunday Afternoons
On many Sundays following lunch, we have one or more afternoon activities including discussions, workshops, performances, films, or outings such as walks, hikes, or bicycle trips.
