The topic of this month's meeting is "Defending Secular Humanism," featuring a video recording of an address that Paul Kurtz gave to students at the University of Minnesota. He expounds on four key points of Secular Humanism:
- Free inquiry methodology,
- Science as the best attempt of getting at reality,
- Secular Humanism as an ethical doctrine open to change in response to human needs, and
- Secular Humanism as a social policy that promotes world cohesiveness.
The half-hour video will be followed by small-group discussions (divided up into approximately equal numbers of participants). After the small-group discussions, the larger group will review the various group findings.
