At our CAH event on December 5, the "Humanist Creation Story" was presented. It tells the story from the Big Bang to our Concord Area Humanists. It was so well received that we would like to share it with others. So, the slides used for the talk are attached as a 19-page PDF file. Please feel free to share it with others (maybe a Christmas present?). Read more about Humanist Creation Story »

Greetings! Two weeks ago, CAH had its last event of the season. We will pick up again on October 3, in Parish Hall, 7 pm, when David Ropeik will present “Cognitive Limits on Human Reason”. This was scheduled for February, but was postponed because of heavy snow. We hope the October weather will be better. Do enjoy the intervening Summer and come back eager for the new series we are planning for the Fall, starting with David. Read more about A Brief History of Concord Area Humanists (CAH) »

It is hard to even keep track of all the confusing myths on global warming that circulate, let alone respond and point out errors. Result is that perpetrators of this fake news get away with misleading the public.
How many of us are exposed, even among friends and relatives, to information we know is wrong, but are not able to respond because we have not studied the problem deeply enough?
Recently a friend alerted me to a reference that helps n global warming. I highly recommend the on-line reference: Skeptical Science; Read more about Skeptical Science »

A few weeks ago, Dr Ellen Moyer came to our CAH group and gave us an excellent talk based on her book: “Our Earth, Our Species, Our Selves: How to Thrive While Creating a Sustainable World”. I purchased a copy, and have since enjoyed reading it. I was inspired by this book, in which she described so many relevant topics. Each topic was thoroughly referenced.

The Unitarian Universalist General Assembly was last week. As usual there was an active UU HUUmanist booth. I know the formation of new local Humanist groups is being encouraged by the UU HUUmanist leaders, as by the American Humanist Association leaders. Read more about UUA General Assembly »

David Niose, in his article "The Post-Theological Umbrella," in New Humanist, January/February 2008, cited a friend suggesting we could improve the attractiveness of Humanism by moving into the post-theological age, by avoiding the old theological terms such as Atheist, Non Theist, God, etc. "When people ask me about atheism," she said, "I just tell them I consider myself post-theological."

The Concord Area Humanists got started early in 2009. Several friends who are members of the Unitarian Universalist First Parish in Concord advertised their intent to start the group and, on a snowy Thursday, January 8th, 46 people attended the "Founding Meeting".
