Thank you for coming to our CAH web site. I am normally heavily involved in organizing the CAH group. We are now in our Summer recess, and I will take the opportunity for a more personal message. Read more about Corruption and loss of integrity »

Humanist Creation Story

Pat — Tue, 18 Dec 2018 23:42:17 +0000

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 »

A Brief History of Concord Area Humanists (CAH)

Pat — Fri, 18 May 2018 16:56:19 +0000

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) »

Skeptical Science

Pat — Thu, 25 Jan 2018 20:24:26 +0000

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: Read more about Skeptical Science »

Dr Ellen Moyer's talk to CAH on November 3, 2017

Pat — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 17:15:24 +0000

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.

Why Are UU Humanists Overlooked?

Maria — Tue, 02 Jun 2015 12:20:26 +0000

Yesterday, I wrote a blog post about my reaction to Molly Worthen's NY Times article, "Wanted: A Theology of Atheism" for the UU Humanist Association's blog. It doesn't address her thesis (that I agree with), that the new "atheist churches" need to be aware of their philosophical heritage. (She calls this theology though she mostly talks about moral systems.) Instead, it points out how that the heritage of Humanism in UU congregations isn’t even mentioned and considers why that is. I would love comments from Concord Area Humanists. Read more about Why Are UU Humanists Overlooked? »

An Easter Prayer from a Non-Christian Humanist

An Easter Prayer from a Non-Christian Humanist

Let us hope we can rise from a death

From the Powerful where Might makes Right

To a new life of the Spirit: The Spirit of Peace.

Let us be filled with this Spirit of Peace.

And let us talk in tongues

So that people can understand us.

Let us lift up the downtrodden and fearful,

Heal those whose souls and bodies are afflicted,

And blind the oppressors with our light

Like Saul with his conversion to Paul Read more about An Easter Prayer from a Non-Christian Humanist »

World Peace Promoted Most by Non Religious

David — Tue, 06 Jan 2015 15:16:12 +0000

In today’s (January 6, 2015) The Guardian, there is an editorial entitled “If Peace On Earth is Our Goal, Atheism Might Be the Means to That End” by Adam Lee. It is a great article revealing several results of various polls on religious societies and non-religious societies throughout the world. The comments are sufficient themselves to press their points so I am just going to excerpt quotes from it. Read more about World Peace Promoted Most by Non Religious »
