A video featuring Paul Kurtz

Lake Nokomis Community Center
2401 E. Minnehaha Parkway
Minneapolis, MN 55417

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:

  1. Free inquiry methodology,
  2. Science as the best attempt of getting at reality,
  3. Secular Humanism as an ethical doctrine open to change in response to human needs, and
  4. 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.
