Posted: Thu, 05 May 2016 16:23
The National Secular Society is pleased to announce a special conference to mark 150 years since the Society's founding and to debate the vital role of secularism in modern Britain and beyond.
The conference, Secularism 2016: Living better together, will be held in central London on 3 September, and will offer a wide variety of discussions about secularism's role in ensuring citizens of all faiths and none can live together fairly and more cohesively. The conference will look back what progress has been made, celebrate the triumphs of the secular movement in the past 150 years and consider what still needs to be done.
NSS President Terry Sanderson said: "We've come a long way since 1866. For 150 years the NSS has campaigned for a secular democracy based upon the principles of equality and fairness.
"To mark our 150th anniversary, we're thrilled to offer everyone an exciting opportunity to participate in this unique one-day conference.
"A distinguished panel of thinkers, including Jacques Berlinerblau, author of the internationally acclaimed How to be Secular, will come together to share their knowledge and passion for secularism. It promises to be a memorable occasion."
