Public lectures in Balwyn Library, monthly 4th Thu., 8 pm; members’ discussions in Tresise Centre, Hawthorn East, monthly 2nd Sun., 11 am.

Humanism is an optimistic world-view relying on human capabilities only –
guided by reason – informed by evidence – driven by compassion.

General invitation

The annual CAHS award for 2012 was presented to Mr. Ron Williams
on Thursday 31 May,
at Embiggen Books, 197–203 Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne,
by the former Senator and leader of the Australian Democrats and AHOY 2008, Ms. Lyn Allison,
and the ethicist, social campaigner and AHOY 2011, Dr. Leslie Cannold.

Ron Williams is the person who challenged the Australian Government at the High Court, on the constitutionality of the national school chaplaincy program. The Court’s decision is pending, but – win or lose – that case must be the beginning, not the end, of national collective action to secularize the public education system.

Time: 6.30 p.m. for 7.00. Dress: neat casual. Space being strictly limited, booking is essential.

RSVP by 26 May to HSQ treasurer, <treasurer@hsq.org.au>, OR CAHS president, ph. (03) 9857 9717.
