Welcome!![]() Ethics Is Our Religion Notable QuotesWe have the gift of human life, wherever it comes from, and the means of developing what is distinctively human.... When we ask, “What does it mean to be human?”, we find the answer in our ethical nature and in the cultivation of the gifts and possibilities of human beings. For it is the truth and beauty and goodness within human beings, that human beings must fulfill.... To believe in freedom, we have to believe in people.

Personal StoriesOne of the best ways to get to know us is to hear the stories of some of our members. Here are a few of those: Bringing MusicDoris Justis is the Music Director for the NoVES chorus. For several years Doris was music director at the Washington Ethical Society. As a member of both societies, she tries to divide her time between both but lately has been drawn more and more to Virginia. Doris has been singing and playing the guitar since she was in elementary school! She performs as a solo, with Sean McGhee in the duo "Side by Side" which is celebrating 22 years together this year, and currently with jazz guitarist Pete Marinovich. She has produced concerts, showcases and coffeehouse programs for local, regional and national talent. Bringing Children, Finding Adult CommunityMy name is Iris. I have been a member of Ethical Culture for 16 years. I started coming when my children were young to offer them some ethical education that was non-denominational. Now I bring my granddaughter for the same reason. In the meantime, I have found a community of adults who share my values, interests, and commitment to living a decent life. I find emotional support in bad times, and share the joy of good times. I could not imagine my life without NoVES. Wife, Mother, Therapist, Harry Potter Fan ...My name is Amy and I've been a member of NoVES since 1997 when my husband and I started looking for a Sunday School for our then 3-year-old daughter. We now have two kids in the Sunday School program. College Student, Sunday School GradIn her own words, are some of the ethical action activities of a graduate of our Sunday School and youth program who has gone on to college: I volunteered as a teaching assistant in a 2nd grade classroom for a year. Then, I volunteered and tutored children who are struggling, one-on-one for the next two years. (Last year I tutored a sixth grader and this year I tutored a high school student). |
