Meet the Humanist Family
Tuesday, April 18
7:00 - 8:30 p.m. - Room 514
Join us for the second session on Humanism presented by Senior Leader, Tony Hileman. While by far the oldest entity in the Humanist movement, Ethical Culture is but one voice in the broad spectrum of the community of reason.
The community of reason is comprised of a surprising array of Humanist, skeptic, agnostic, atheist, free thought, and other non-theistic organizations, with interesting and varied histories and personalities involved in each. In his capacity as Executive Director of the American Humanist Association for six years, Mr. Hileman worked with all of them and has gained a unique perspective on each.
After the presentation there will be a question and answer session. The cost is $15 for members. $20 for nonmembers. Please contact Judy Wank at 212-874-5210, ext. 118 to register, or for more information.
