The Ethical Humanist Society of the Triangle (EHST), founded in 1987, is one of 22 societies in the United States which form the American Ethical Union. See About Us for more information.

We meet every Sunday from 1:30 - 3:00 p.m. at Extraordinary Ventures in Chapel Hill. Platform meetings are on the first and third Sundays of the month. Community leaders, professors, social activists, as well as our own members inform the society on ethical issues confronting our local community, as well as issues of national and international importance.

On alternate Sundays we hold discussion groups. Some discussions cover members' questions and ideas about previous platform presentations. In others the focus is on ethical problems and considerations involved with every area of our lives, be it personal relationships, greening the earth, social justice, or alleviating poverty. These are lively and informative, bringing together opinions and ideas that are creative and resourceful. These discussions are an excellent venue to examine differences in an ethical pathway for living. The setting is informal and encourages closer communion with one another and respect for differences .

The Growth and Development Committee reviewed mission statements of like- minded organizations to determine if our current one adequately reflects EHST's mission or a new one should be developed. We met October 30, 2011 to discuss the process, examine our current mission statement, compare it to other organizations, and collect members' ideas about what should be included. We will meet January 29 to discuss the team's Summary of Findings and seek a vote from the membership on whether to move forward. We encourage all members to attend .
