Secular Sunday #95 – Fighting The Good Fight

We’ve had another very busy week. I say we but I really mean my fellow committee members who have mostly been working very hard; all I have to do is compile everything they’ve done in this dominical digest. I think I’ve got everything. Anything I...

Secular Sunday #94 – Slim Pickings

Another slimline edition this week following an extremely long Second Sunday brunch. (For all I know the die-hards are still there!) It may sound like some Bacchanalian extravagance but it was a relaxed and sober affair, the emphasis on conversation much more than food or...

Secular Sunday #93 – All Hands On Deck

It’s just the news and calendar this week, but there’s quite a lot in both. In fact we’re so busy I’ve been drafted to take part in a debate, as apparently even Michael Nugent can’t be in two places at once. – Derek Walsh, Editor

Secular Sunday #92 – Relatively Early Edition

As promised, this week’s newsletter comes to you considerably earlier than you’ve become used to. Those who prefer to get it later can simply wait a few hours before reading. – Derek Walsh, Editor

This week has been all about our fifth AGM. I’m glad to report that it was an enjoyable and productive event and that I received a lot of positive feedback about this newsletter. I’m glad it’s being read anyway, and to those who expressed a...

Secular Sunday #90 – Brevity etc.

This week’s newsletter is a little more compact than usual, which is entirely due to all the important work we’re doing behind the scenes and not at all because I spent most of yesterday listening to TED talks and most of today looking at aeroplanes....

Secular Sunday #89 – The End of the Weekend

Another extra long Second Sunday brunch has led to this newsletter being quite late again. Isn’t it great to be an atheist and have your Sundays free? Anyway, we have some important news about our AGM and the usual other bits and pieces. – Derek...

Secular Sunday #88 – Back To School

September signals the end of the summer and if you are a parent (or indeed a student) it means back to school. As well as making sure uniforms and bags are in order, it can also mean having to deal with religious indoctrination. If your...

Secular Sunday #87 – Where Have All the Bloggers Gone?

Regular readers will know that this newsletter usually features atheism-related posts from bloggers based in Ireland. Sometimes those definitions are stretched if I think a post is particularly interesting or if there’s a dearth of more relevant posts. And occasionally, like this week, I just...

Secular Sunday #86 – Anthology of Interest

It’s been a relatively quiet week for Atheist Ireland but that doesn’t mean there’s not plenty going on behind the scenes. As well as our forthcoming AGM, there are a number of other projects underway that we hope will benefit our members, help expand our...
