Humanist Association

The Leisure World Humanist Association will meet on Sunday, April 7, at 10:30 a.m., in Clubhouse 3, Room 1.

This will be a good meeting for those who are unfamiliar with Humanist philosophy. The club will show a 40 minute video “An Introduction to Humanism,” narrated by Jennifer Hancock, during the meeting.

This program is designed to help clarify one of the most influential philosophies of this time. Humanism has arisen in every culture and time, and yet most people don’t know what it is and why it has been so influential. This short film covers the definition of Humanism and its history as well as Humanism’s relationship to religion. It will also go over the central values of Humanism, famous Humanists, such as Confucius, Buddha and Socrates, and address frequently asked questions about Humanism.

This video serves as a good beginning introduction for people looking to learn more about Humanism and how it can improve their lives. Club President Dave Silva will lead a discussion about the film and try to answer any questions.
