Cultivating The Ethical Life: Differences Between UU And Ethical Culture

http://jone.ethicalmanifold.net/archives/000099.html

Extractions: Main Back Note: the original of this message was written in 1998 as a contribution to the AEU email list, Dialogue , in 1998. In my experience, and from long and many talks with people who identify themselves as Ethical Culturists or Ethical Humanists who are attending UU churches because there is no convenient or well-functioning local Ethical Society: the key differences between the two are not theological diversity (Ethical Culture has almost as great a proportion of naturalistic deists/theists as does the midwestern Unitarianism in which I grew up) nor "creed" but the following: 2) UUs tend to be more comfortable with traditional Protestant format and words, even when they have redefined them almost 180 degrees. Thus, UUs would not generally mind the term "in the pews" even if their congregation has always had the same kind of separate chairs that an Ethical Society might have. Worship becomes "the shaping of worth" and is about human worth and dignity. "Church" becomes just a generic term and not a specifically Christian term. (My younger son at five years old called the Ethical Society in Chicago "Zero Church" after having been involved in Second and then First Unitarian Churches little did he know how perceptive that was!) The "hymn sandwich" format of Protestant services is often retained by UU congregations. Personally, I feel the format of most UU churches as heavily Protestant, though our own Ethical Culture format and the Reform Judaism format of the 19th century also borrow heavily from Protestantism, especially in featuring "the word" as the center of the program instead of rituals. UUs are thus far more comfortable with "responsive readings" in Sunday mornings than Ethical Culturists would be, though the words themselves may be just as comfortable or uncomfortable to an average UU as an average Ethical Culturist. (As an aside I'll add: Both groups have significant problems with the term "spirituality" both have many members who dislike the term and find it inherently linked to supernaturalism, and

Extractions: Site Map "Platform" is the shorthand used in Ethical Societies for: the Platform Address : an address given (sometimes by the professional Leader of the Society, sometimes by a member or guest speaker).

Ethics To Live By: Ethical Culture & Jesus
ethical culture and Jesus. Felix Adler, who founded ethical culture, came ofage in the 19th century, when Higher Criticism was emerging in Europe.
http://hoad.ethicalmanifold.net/archives/000091.html

Extractions: Ideas and Their Action Consequences - by John Hoad Main Back Its hard to avoid the figure of Jesus in the Western world. Jesus is both pivotal and controversial. Philosopher Carl Jaspers names him as one of four major paradigmatic figures in human history - along with Socrates, who taught us to think; Confucius, who taught us the good moral order that binds a nation; and Buddha, who taught the spiritual reality behind the illusions of stability. Jesus taught the universal love that should extend beyond the borders of our limited affiliations Felix Adler, who founded Ethical Culture, came of age in the 19th century, when Higher Criticism was emerging in Europe. In a lecture delivered December 31, 1876, in New York, and included in his book, Creed and Deed, he addressed the topic of The Founder of Christianity. Adler was aware of the scholarship now impinging on the Gospel story. Renan, for example, had written his Life of Jesus in 1863, David Friedrich Strauss his presentation of Jesus in 1836, and Reimarus, in many ways the father of Enlightenment criticism in New Testament studies, had been published posthumously, in the previous century. Adler echoes that scholarship in saying: The New Testament presents but scant material for the biography of Jesus, and the authenticity, even of the little that remains to us, has been rendered extremely uncertain by the labors of modern critics. Yet he concluded that there was enough to go on. He said: A few leading narratives, however, are doubtless trustworthy, and these will suffice for our purpose.
Ethical Culture Society
But the secular humanists are at work within our midst. The ethical culture Societyof the Triangle is an avowedly humanist group that seeks that thread.
http://www.ibiblio.org/stayfree/4/ethical.htm

Extractions: by Jay Huber Secular humanism is a phrase you don't hear much anymore, except when it's coming from the mouth of some right-wing Christian leader or another. Somehow they've turned the words into a heathen catchphrase, branding the godless who ignore their patriarchal religion and promises of salvation. Secular humanism is their umbrella for all the hot-button issues: pro-choice/abortion rights, feminism, gay rights, sex education. Of course, in this post-modern era the enemies of religious demagogues are varied and complex. But secular humanists still occupy a special place within the Christian fanatic catalogue of Satan-spawned social movements. The threat stems mainly from the elevation by secular humanists of human-centered concepts, justice, equality, etc., to spiritual heights. Instead of people taking dictation of the program from the Almighty, they create their own rules. And the rules, in the perfect world, in turn refine the people into an enlightened, integrated whole. How naive. But this was big stuff in the late 19th/early 20th century. Actually, these visions of ethics, reason and justice held sway, the Beats efforts notwithstanding, until Vietnam and Richard Nixon. The United States, of course, is the experiment in action. The Constitution is no different from any other sacred text, but instead of seeking the afterlife, it works the here-and-now. The Founders took concepts and fashioned a government, emphasizing the individual with a strong tilt against tyranny and a soft spot for slavery. The point was, and is, that individual life on earth is the only thing we can control, so let's make it fulfilling all the way around.

Dealing With White Collar Crime - Establishing An Ethical Culture
ESTABLISHING AN ethical culture. The foundation of any successful fight againstwhite collar crime is an ethical culture within the institution.
http://www.whitecollarcrime.co.za/dwc1.htm

Extractions: The success of any organisation is dependent on the quality of the decisions and the behaviour of individuals at all levels throughout the organisation. White Collar Crime will undermine the right decisions and positive work ethic. The foundation of any successful fight against white collar crime is an ethical culture within the institution. In order to establish such an ethical culture, management and employees together must believe: that their institution is honest and ethical in its business dealings, including dealings with customers, suppliers and employees; that their employer treats them with respect, rewards them fairly, imposes discipline fairly, and, where regrettably redundancy becomes necessary, exits them fairly; that commercial crime prevention is a common objective throughout the organisation at all levels, that they have been trained to play their part in the fight, and that their efforts are acknowledged; that if White Collar or commercial crime is suspected, the perpetrator can expect the most rigorous investigation and if found guilty, a severe sentence.

Lois Kellerman: Ethical Culture Thanksgiving Ceremony
Main Back ethical culture Thanksgiving Ceremony. Written by Lois KathleenKellerman, Leader Emeritus, Brooklyn Society of ethical culture.
http://kellerman.ethicalmanifold.net/archives/000019.html

Extractions: by Lois Kathleen Kellerman As we gather together to celebrate another harvest, may freedom ring from every heart, and in this place may we find peace. Every day we work, but for now we set aside our work for a little while and rest. Every day we go our separate ways, but now we gather together. Every day we count our life in hours, in the value of the marketplace. But now we stand in the spaces between time's beat and think of what is good, what is lasting, what is true. (the candles are lit) We light candles of understanding against the shadows of our times. This is a sign of our joining together with all those who sought goodness, sometimes at great risk and sacrifice throughout the ages. We break bread by sharing simple joys. We raise our cups of care in praise of life. All: Peace! Each person present is invited to share: "This year I am thankful for....."
