Secular Sunday #79 – In Conference
Well, I’m back. Many thanks to Geoff Lillis for filling in last week while I was away. It’s slightly dispiriting to discover I can be so easily replaced but gratifying to know there’s someone who can do this for me should the need arise. If you want more of Geoff, check out his blog, follow him on Twitter or just lurk in the bushes outside his house.
Regular readers will be aware that the Empowering Women through Secularism conference took place this weekend. In fact many regular readers were there, as was I. I still am there, as it happens, and am typing this on a borrowed laptop in the bar of the O’Callaghan Alexander hotel.
Hence, it is a rather truncated version. I’ll make up for that next week with a full report of this week’s conference. For now, here’s the video of the opening speeches. Much of the rest will be online during the next week.
Till then I’ll leave you with a list of upcoming events.
