What if community isn’t about thinking alike?

Rev. Dr. Jé Exodus Hooper invites us to imagine being like-hearted and like-handed: connected by care, dignity, curiosity, and shared action.

What does that mean to you?

"Everyone is welcome... as long as you do it like we do it."

Dr. Jé Exodus Hooper asks what happens when a community looks for people who are like hearted instead of like minded.

Full talk on our YouTube channel.

Not trauma bonding. Love bonding.

Dr. Jé Exodus Hooper invites us to become a place people can return to and to dance with the stranger until they’re no longer a stranger anymore.

What if the work of an ethical community isn’t to tell people what’s right, but to help one another live the values we already hold? We carry the capacity to recognize goodness, care for one another, and imagine a better world. The real challenge is living it.

What do you need? A place to belong. Room to question. A listening ear. A way to help. Community gives us somewhere to bring our questions, our laughter, our hope, and our whole human selves. Take what you need. Offer what you can. You’re welcome here. 💛
#Humanism #EthicalCulture #StLouis #Community

Black-and-white tear-off poster with a rainbow EthicalSTL logo and the headline “Take What You Need.” Tabs offer: a place to belong, room to question, a listening ear, a good laugh, courage to begin, time to breathe, a fresh perspective, meaningful action, human connection, hope for tomorrow, a way to help, and a reminder you matter. Each ends with a colorful heart.
