The Reverend John Rex, newly
installed minister at Buckman Bridge Unitarian Universalist, gave
the opening address at the Humanism Conference.
|
A conference on Humanism was held March 3 - 4 at the UU Church of Brevard
in West Melbourne. Principal speaker was Dr. William Murry, President
of Meadville-Lombard Seminary in Chicago, IL, who spoke on “Humanism—Where
It’s Been” in the morning and “Humanism— Where It’s Going” in the afternoon.
The conference was history-making, as it was the first time that a seminary
president ever publicly discussed or even acknowledged humanism.
