Good Without God

– an update from our friends at Harvard Humanist
We're delighted to inform you that Harvard Humanist chaplain Greg Epstein and his book Good Without God were featured in an excellent story on Jan 24th, 2010 by ABC World News with Diane Sawyer. The piece has already reached the "top videos" section and the front page of the ABC News website. Please check it out and forward it/this message as widely as possible: the more views the piece receives, the longer it will be featured on the ABC site, which will lead to even more new exposure for Humanism. Here is the video:

Our CAH group is an intersection of the American Humanist Association (AHA) and the Universalist Unitarian Association (UUA), at an interesting time. We have members in both, and are entering a period when we will make important decisions on how we proceed with our presently small group.

Kinds of Humanism

Larry muses on Fred Edwords' essay on Humanism.....
Western Cultural Humanism is a good name for the rational and empirical tradition that originated largely in ancient Greece and Rome, evolved throughout European history, and now constitutes a basic part of the Western approach to science, political theory, ethics, and law.
Arab-Israeli Conflict
Written by Patrick Everett Tuesday, 28 July 2009 16:25
As Humanists, we have an obligation to understand the undercurrents in what may affect the peace of the world. The Israeli/Palestine conflict, and Israeli interactions with the Arab world are all part of a tinder box that could flare up in the coming years, if we do not help find a solution to the problems. I would like to bring attention to those who may not be familiar with it, a homegrown joint American/Israeli organization that has significant input to perhaps helping the situation, with a very balanced approach. I commend attention to the following URL which presents a meaningful understanding of the problems and how the US can contribute to solutions: http://peacenow.org/features.asp?rid=&cid=3361
