Deed Before Creed
The Philadelphia Ethical Society is a community dedicated to ethical action in service of the common good. Our building on Rittenhouse Square is a hub for civic life and the arts in the city, home to hundreds of organizations and clubs. Our weekly Sunday "Platform" talks feature guest speakers and performances by local musicians and are free and open to the public. We also operate a summer-camp in Chester County for children to experience the wonders of nature and learn how to swim. We rent our space for weddings, concerts and conferences, and provide discounts for groups with a social mission.
