Usage
The MOR Curriculum is available to the local chapters of MOR for both weekly meetings and retreat events. The curriculum taps into the great thinkers of the world to provide practical discussions and presentations in areas that promote reasoned thinking. Both adult and children curriculum sets are available, usually as a package. MOR operates with a modern global awareness of science and philosophy and encourages reason as the basis for discourse and the analysis and valuation of ideas.

Topics
The MOR Curriculum takes difficult societal and personal issues head-on in both the adult and children classes in a way that is relevant to each. It addresses the major ethical questions of the day, explores our cultural heritage, and focuses on the personal responsibility to reason through our own decisions. MOR curriculum offers a rational perspective on these topics in a practical way that can be applied to daily activities, societal responsibilities, and personal relationships.

Structure
There are two major types of MOR curriculum. The first presents a topic for the weekly local chapter meetings, and is designed to initiate discussion among members. The second is Special Event curriculum, that is designed to be used at seminars, retreats, or other MOR events. Each of these introduces a topic, provides references, includes discussion starter questions, and provides optional advice on managing the discussion.

Online Curriculum and Meetings
Many MOR members are unable to attend local chapter or SIG meetings, but they can participate online. Those in a local chapter can also participate on line in addition to their local activities. Group discussions on a variety of topics allow for personal exploration and friendship building across the miles as people gravitate towards their own personal interests.
