EHSAsheville - Ethical Humanist Society of Asheville

Ethical Core Values

I accept responsibility for my choices and actions. I strive to live my values. I view ethics as my religion.
Ethical Core Values

I can learn from the past to build for the future. I am free to question. I am free to choose what I believe.
Deed Before Creed

Each of us has a moral responsibility to help reduce suffering, enhance the quality of life and contribute to the well being of society.
Examining the issues of living

Moral education – learning to be a good person – is a lifelong task. We encourage personal growth through sensitivity to others, critical thinking and developing the courage to act on ethical values.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, January 6, 1941

"Freedom of speech. Freedom of worship. Freedom from want. Freedom from fear."
Ethical Core Values

I am a part of this earth; I cherish it and all life upon it. I learn from the world around me by using my senses, mind and feelings.
Ethical Core Values

I can learn from everyone. I am a member of the world community that depends on the cooperation of all people for peace and justice.
A Welcoming Humanist Community

We are a community of caring hearts and thoughtful minds, working to create a better world.
Ethical Core Values

Every person is important and unique. Every person deserves to be treated fairly and kindly.
Martin Luther King Jr. 1959

"Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation o your country, and a finer world to live in."
