Did you miss the September 2013 Pennsylvania State Atheist/Humanist Conference? No worries. For the next two months (January and February 2014), Freethought Society (FS) monthly meetings will feature speeches delivered during the September 2013 event.
The Monday, January 27, 2014 meeting will take place at 7:00 PM, in the large meeting room of the Bala Cynwyd Library. The library address is 131 Old Lancaster Rd, Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania 19004. The library phone number is (610) 664-1196. More library information can be found at: lmls.org/lib_balacynwyd.html. The library is located on the corner of a nearby bus stop and the Bala Cynwyd SEPTA stop is within a short walk.
The highlighted conference speeches for January are Amanda Knief presenting “The Golden Calf: Why the Faith-Based Initiative Needs to be Sacrificed” and Jerry DeWitt presenting “An Atheist Sunday Morning Sermon.” Each presentation is 30 minutes long.
I am an African American Freethinker living currently in Atlanta, GA. I stumbled upon this Freethought Society page while surfing the web and read s few of your letters…Wow! What a gem you this group is! It is refreshing to read articles and opinions that are focused solely on the issues that are pertinent to pure secular atheism. Far too many dwell on mundane, political, personal, liberal, media-driven topics.
Two things. First, I am a member of a Black Atheist group that holds bi-annual forums in the Atlanta area. I would like to purchase the video on religion and bondage that you all showed some time ago. Second, I would like to thank you for promoting the Haitian Freethinkers and the struggles they are facing. We have an active member from Haiti named Wilhem Rosenberg. His organization, Sovereign Haiti Initiative, does excellent work in Haiti helping orphans and espousing self sufficiency in a town called Hinche. I will notify him of your organization.
Thanks again
