Washington Ethical Society

Washington Ethical Society ~ a humanist congregation coming together to celebrate & support each other through life ~ Our congregation was established in 1944. You are welcome here.

The Washington Ethical Society (WES) is a humanistic congregation that affirms the worth of every person. We are members of both the American Ethical Union (www.aeu.org) and the Unitarian Universalist Association (www.uua.org). We gather every Sunday in our Main Hall for a service at 10:30. It typically lasts about an hour. There is often Sunday School for kids downstairs in our classrooms. We also have many active groups that we hope you'll check out! Come join us!

As a new ally, it’s your worst nightmare: Something you said or did hurt your LGBTQ+ loved one—and you genuinely didn’t mean to! Maybe you intended to say something nice and have no idea why it impacted them in that way.

➡️ Instead of getting defensive, try:
• Acknowledging (rather than minimizing) the impact.
• Remembering that a gentle correction is not a personal attack, but an opportunity for you to learn how to do better.
• Apologizing in a way that takes responsibility for the hurt that you caused.
