Subject: Looking for company
I recently became a member of the Triangle Freethought Society, and have discovered one other Pittsboro member among the group, who meet monthly in Raleigh. Both of us were wondering if there might be other like-minded folks out there among our Chatham friends, who might like to join us.
It would be nice to start a satellite group locally, as well as have others to car pool with to the various Society events, which take place all over the Triangle. They’re a diverse group of people, old and young, families, singles and couples, all dedicated to the mission: “To provide a supportive community in the Triangle area that mobilizes for the respect of nontheists, promotes critical thinking, and defends the separation of church and state.” Check out their website for more information: http://trianglefreethoughtsociety.org
Another group I’ve recently been taking part in is the Ethical Humanist Society of the Triangle, which meets weekly on Sundays in Chapel Hill. Their mission statement is: “The EHST is a humanistic congregational community promoting the cultivation of ethical values founded on reason and science and inspired by the love of humanity.”
Perhaps some of you out there might be interested in accompanying me to one of those meetings.
I’m very much enjoying getting to know all these wonderful people, but wish there were more Chathamites among us. Get in touch if you’re interested.
Gretchen.
Hi Gretchen, I wanted you to know that there are others, like myself, who are nontheists in the area. I relocated to Lee County a couple of years ago so I don’t know many people outside of work. Please contact me if you wish, I’d be interested in meeting like-minded people.
