UPDATE: Unfortunately, our speaker Zion Lights has been taken ill and is not well enough to travel up to Oxford to speak to us tomorrow. However, the venue at the Old Fire Station is booked and will have to be paid for, so we might as well use it! We hope to still welcome you tomorrow evening!

Very true! It’s a shame that there are so many people who have never heard of humanism. Hopefully in time we can change that!

Is humanism more relevant than ever? A packed room at @oxfordhumanists.bsky.social on Friday suggests the answer is a resounding yes.

In a world that often feels fractured, the appetite for rational, compassionate community is only growing. Joy to meet so many new people & answer your questions!

Hello! Unfortunately, we didn’t get a full-length video of his talk. Mainly photos and some short clips, which will likely be uploaded in the near future!

Oxford Humanists attended the Remembrance Day Parade on St Giles, joining others to remember all who have suffered in conflict.

Diana Naumann honoured us by reading a lovely Humanist message from Deborah Hooper (Humanists UK), reflecting on the value of every life lost.

We will remember everyone.

Everyone who fought, who lived, who died, and every conscientious objector, too.

We will remember their sacrifice.

We will remember their belief in freedom, and the common humanity that unites us.

On 15 September Humanists UK celebrates International Day of Democracy. Humanists UK logo.

Democracy. Freedom. Peace. These are the values we live by as humanists β€” inseparable, interdependent, and essential. They rest on the freedom to think and believe for ourselves, the right to shape society together, and the commitment to human rights across all frontiers #InternationalDayofDemocracy

β€˜We humans are part of nature, not separate from it.’

If you agree with this lovely humanist sentiment, you may enjoy The Little Book of Humanism!
