HumanistsMN

HumanistsMN is a chapter of the American Humanist Association. We are a secular community that promotes ethical living, widespread human flourishing, and a healthy planet through its commitment to science, reason, compassion, and creativity.

This month HumanistsMN welcomes David Breeden, HumanistsMN member and Senior Minister at First Unitarian Society, as our guest speaker.

The written history of freethought goes back to the 700s BCE. Rejecting both the supernatural and ritual, the Hindu Charvakas insisted upon a materialist examination of reality through philosophical skepticism and empiricism. Sound familiar?

Dr. Breeden will outline the high points in freethought, paying especial attention to the development of humanism that led directly to the founding of the American Humanist Association. He will also ask, “What's next?”

Rev. Dr. David Breeden has a Master of Fine Arts in poetry from The Iowa Writers’ Workshop and a PhD from the Center for Writers at the University of Southern Mississippi, with additional study in writing and Buddhism at Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado. He also has a Master of Divinity degree from Meadville Lombard Theological School. He is a member of the Institute for American Religious and Philosophical Thought and chairs the Education Committee of the American Humanist Association.
