What's This Sunday School About?


Curriculum for the Baltimore Ethical Society Sunday School program, has been developed with consideration to teaching to multiple learning styles and intelligences. The focus of the interaction with students is to engage in dialogue about topics which affect values, and embody understanding ethical culture, and philosophy.

 
Ethical Sunday School Lessons Align with the Core Values for Humanistic Living

Ethics is my religion
Every person is important and unique
Every person deserves to be treated fairly and kindly
I can learn from everyone
I am part of the earth: I cherish it and all life upon it
I learn from the world around me by using senses, mind and feelings
I am a member of the world community which depends on the cooperation of all people for peace and justice
I can learn from the past to build for the future
I am free to question
I am free to choose what I believe
I accept responsibility for my choices and actions
I strive to live My values.

Each session will include: interactive sounding or music making using percussion, voice, found sound. As each person enters, we go back to the beginning-asking what makes them unique. Some kids don't know at first, however if you keep asking them, they'll figure it out.
