Roger Brewin will have a UU Humanist table at Greta Christina's book talk in Grand Rapids. Here are the details for the main event:
HOSTS/SPONSORS: CFI – Michigan and the Birmingham Temple Congregation for Humanistic Judaism
TOPIC: Coming Out Atheist: How To Do It, How to Help Each Other, And Why
SUMMARY: Coming out is the most powerful political act atheists can take. But coming out can be difficult and risky. What are some specific, practical, nuts-and-bolts strategies we can use: to come out of the closet, to support each other in coming out, and to make the atheist community a safer place to come out into? What can atheists learn about coming out from the LGBT community and their decades of coming-out experience — and what can we learn from the important differences between coming out atheist and coming out queer?
COST: Free and open to the public (suggested donation $5)
