This message is from the Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard:
Radio's Biggest, Best Program on Religion spends an hour with Greg Epstein & Humanism
We're delighted the Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard and Humanism in general are the focus for this week's episode of "Speaking of Faith": public radio's conversation about religion, meaning, ethics, and ideas. Each week, award-winning host Krista Tippett probes the myriad ways in which religious impulses inform every aspect of life and culture, nationally and globally. This weekend's episode of SOF is entitled "A New Humanism:" please forward this message to friends and encourage them to listen.
"Speaking of Faith" is broadast by American Public Media in over 200 markets around the US including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, D.C., Miami, Detroit, and many, many more. Here is a full list of stations and airtimes. The episode can also be downloaded or streamed live anytime from SOF's website, starting today. Here is a description:
In a recent Pew poll, 16 percent of Americans identified themselves as "unaffiliated" - atheist, agnostic, or most prominently "nothing in particular." Greg Epstein, a Humanist chaplain at Harvard, described himself that way until he discovered the tradition of humanism. He is passionate about articulating an atheist identity that is not driven by a stance against religion but by positive ethical beliefs and actions.

| Sounds interesting. I'll have to listen to it online, as my local NPR station is carrying the show on Sunday AM...right when I'll be at UU. |
