A Personal Message to You

   Every Ethical Society is different, taking on the tone and hue of its members and leaders.  It is designed that way.  Dogma goes out the window, and mutual appreciation, learning, and creativity comes in.  Every Society is also the same, in calling people back to their real worth, unique and beyond compare, existing in a web of worth with others.

   Please look through these pages and discover a new starting-point for human living.  Be sure to check out the Upcoming Events, and then check us out in person.

Dear Visitor,

You're told what to do in a thousand ways.
You're told how to dress, how to smell,
what to read, what to buy.
You're told who you should be.
But your true worth doesn't come from there.
Your true worth is a mystery,
at the core of your being,
being human,
being interhuman.
We honor your true worth.
We can't pretend to say what it is.
We can't pretend to define it in philosophical or religious words.
Is it a potency or an actuality?
We can't say.
But we can say,
we affirm your worth.
We can say, we strive to become better at affirming your worth,
and affirming the worth of every person, and acting from this belief.
On this basis we band together,
To support each one's striving,
To affirm each one's worth,
To change the world where it violates worth,
To shape the world into one that honors and respects the worth and dignity of all.
Join with us, that through inspiration, courage, and love,
a wave of change in people's hearts and minds may sweep the world
and bring renewed purpose in life and joy in the living.

Write to me.

Sincerely,

Bob Greenwell
Leader,
Mid Rivers Ethical Society
