A new episode of The Humanist Hour is available for listening. Keep reading to find out details about this month’s program.

In this month’s show, Todd and Kim interview comedian Sanderson Jones, co-founder of The Sunday Assembly.

Along with Pippa Evans, Sanderson Jones co-founded the rapidly growing global phenomenon called The Sunday Assembly. Learn how comedians Sanderson and Pippa came up with The Sunday Assembly slogan: Live better, help often, and wonder more. Find out why the term “atheist church” some people are employing to describe The Sunday Assembly is used reluctantly, and how the songs for their assemblies are chosen, an element for which they are becoming increasingly well-known.

From their Facebook page: “…the goal of The Sunday Assembly is to solace worries, provoke kindness and inject a bit more whizziness into the everyday.”

During the program Sanderson also reveals a global plan for September to launch 100 Sunday Assembly groups on the same day with live streaming of these first gatherings.

Sanderson and Pippa will be at the 73rd Annual American Association Conference in Philadelphia, June 5-8, 2014!
