Special Guest Speaker:
Fred Edwords, Past Exec. Dir.,
American Humanist Association
"The Promise of Humanism"
Every religion has a promise it offers to adherents. But what is the promise of humanism? What is its attraction? Emerging in the early twentieth century, humanism struck a chord because it too answered a need. It offered an outlook that many found refreshing. There was something striking about its this-worldly forthrightness and down-to-earth honesty that cleared the air and liberated the mind. And this humanist experience continues today to uplift and inspire growing numbers of Americans. Join us as we immerse ourselves in that experience and enjoy the inspiration it can bring.
