Dorset Humanists website: July Bulletin and Newsletter

DW 6298984 (crop) Seumas Milne in The Guardian writes, 'Finance has usurped democracy... we need finance to work for society rather than the other way round'. Come along to our "Humanist Manifesto" event this Saturday to explore political solutions for some of our most intractable problems. We’ll also be enjoying strawberry cream teas!

In the Bulletin this month, we have a full report of the BHA Conference in Cardiff, schoolchildren hearing about Humanism, and news about our 6-week course in Humanism and atheism starting in the Autumn.

In Chairman's View I explain how you can take action to help a 30-year old Indonesian man who has been imprisoned on account of his atheism.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
Best wishes,
David Warden
Chair, Dorset Humanists

Humanists UK President Prof. Alice Roberts

‘As an anthropologist, I believe in our common humanity. We can rise above the tribal divisions that have caused so much anguish and real damage in the past. The real hallmarks of humanity are: curiosity and an ability to cooperate. If we can use science wisely and work together, we can overcome the huge challenges facing us this century. Our ‘good news’ is not that there is life after death to look forward to – but that this is the one life we have – and we need to make it meaningful, by looking after each other and the planet better.’
