The title of our June 2025 event is Secularism, Peace, and Stability. Please join us for an enlightening evening with Andrew Copson, the Chief Executive of Humanists UK and President of Humanists International, to explore the critical role of secularism in fostering global peace and stability. In conversation with Glenn Lawrence, the coordinator of Sheffield Humanists, Andrew will discuss the historical development of secularism leading to its application in modern political systems, and how secular principles can promote understanding and cooperation between nations with diverse religious backgrounds. The audience will have the opportunity to question and challenge Andrew and to put forward their points of view.
