Might be an answer to my longing for Fellowship

[dalthauser]

I was reading CNN.com and there was a segment that asked "What makes people happy" - one of the "experts" was Greg Epstein who is a Humanist.  I was interested, so I searched the web and learned that there are Humanists who are organizing, like churches do, to give each other community support. 

Here are the links if anyone is interested in learning more..............

Greg Epstein's Page

American Humanist Association: Local Groups

The closest group to me is Austin :-(
Still - I like this idea for people like me who aren't religious but like the fellowship nevertheless.

I found a group close to me through facebook. I just haven't gone to any meetings yet. I'm very curious but reluctant.

I'll let you know if I ever check them out.

I'd love to attend some meetings too and see how it goes, like you I love fellowship but not religion. I looked and the closest to us is 3 hours away. :-(

PS thank you for providing those links :-)

Maybe we'll have to look into starting our own Humanist community in our areas! :-)

I was just browsing Greg Epstein's facebook, then I went to read journal entries and seen your link. Hmmm.....

haha - did you read the Celestine Prophesy? Whenever something like that happens - I totally jump on it and follow it. I never look at that sort of thing as a coincidence since I read that book. :-)
