Washington Ethical Society

Felix Adler, the founder of Ethical Culture, was a intense and serious-minded professor. Felix Adler, the circus clown, was...not so serious (among other things, he added a rhinestone to embellish his red nose). Is there a place at WES for both Adlers? WES has increased its ​serious ​attention to anti-racism and anti-oppression work in recent years. For some of us, that feels like...well, a lot of work. How do we as a congregation balance our commitment to justice with the reality that many people see WES as a refuge from the "work" of the world? Amanda explores this timely and important topic, supported by music from the WES Chorus.
