AEU Weekly Update: Monday, September 25, 2023
Dear Members,
What Is It Like Being Raised in Ethical Culture?
Last week, we asked you to share with us how being raised in Ethical Culture impacted who your child is today. Here is a response we received:
“I have been a member since 1965, and we raised our children in Ethical Culture. While they started Sunday School at the New York Society, they ended at Bergen. My daughter graduated from Sunday School, and though my son did not (he was away at school), he maintained ties through us. They are both in their fifties now. If you look back through some of the old newsletters of the AEU, there are stories about people raised in Ethical Culture. The first hundred pages of American Prometheus (the Oppenheimer story) are also of interest, and I am sure there are many other sources.”
– Ellen McBride, Member of the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County, New Jersey
