COMMUNITIES

Understanding the purpose – Building Community

Our goal is to form local communities of signatories all over the world. The forming of communities is our goal, because personal relationships are most often the source of transformation and growth in people’s lives. Building local Unashamedly Ethical communities means building environments in which people can form these kinds of close relationships centred around the topic of “ethics, values and clean living”.

What ‘Community’ implies:

1. Community implies a common crisis and/or a common cause. Our common crisis is the moral decay we see in our world. In response, all local community members have signed the relevant UE Commitment Form/s, are listed on the Online Directory and are accountable to the Ombudsman. These things form the ‘reason-for-being’ of our growing community.
2. Community implies growing relationships. Building a successful community requires ongoing personal contact (fellowship) between members/signatories.
3. Community implies mutual edification. We believe that as UE community members, we all require consistently good teaching and encouragement from those gifted to do so. Local UE communities are therefore encouraged to come together regularly to hear good speakers, thereby encouraging one another, and inspiring one another on to love and good deeds.

As a response to this, you can either join an existing UE community if there is already one in your area. Alternately, we would like to encourage you to start your own local UE community. Please make your selection by clicking the relevant link below.
