Howard Washington Thurman was a Black American author, philosopher, minister, theologian, Christian mystic, educator, and civil rights leader. Reverend Tom will reflect on his life and writings. Also, we will be having a new member recognition ceremony.

Not long ago Rev. Tom was told that some far-right, conservative, and evangelical religious teachers were teaching/preaching that atheists are devil worshipers. Rev. Tom wants to explore the reasons behind this teaching and explore the reality of atheism.
