 History of Ethical Culture 

Founding Generation GalaThe Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County is one of the chapters of the American Ethical Union founded in 1876 by Dr Felix Adler in New York.  Dr. Adler was a professor of Philosophy at Columbia University and a social reformer.  He perceived a need for a religion based on "deed before creed".  

He founded Ethical Culture to focus on community and good works, rather than personal salvation.

Dare To Dream

Ethical Kids Living the Dream

Ethical Kids Living the Dream

By Libby F.

Dare to dream that dancing children
Born to strife and misery
Had, by loving intervention,
Grown up safe and hunger-free

Might a vision spark a decision,
Prodding a creed to be a deed?
May girls and boys of every nation
Live in peace and harmony!

Written in honor of the 50th anniversary of
The Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County
