From Islam to disbelief

At this meeting five people from five different Islamic countries or communities will talk about their journeys to disbelief and what they experienced through their journeys. Most of these speakers will then form a panel for a more general discussion as well as answer questions.

Three of the talks have been titled and will be:

"What's happening deep there? (A journey into the Islamic world)"

"Clashing Ideologies – 2nd Generation Australians born into Islamic (Or monotheistic) religion"
"A Muslim's way out of Islam"

As we expect a very strong attendance for this event, we would respectfully ask that you update your intended attendance if your circumstances change. Thank you.

Those who wish to have dinner together before the talks, we will meet at 6.30 at MD Thai on the corner of College Street and Oxford Streets Darlinghurst.

ANNOUNCEMENT Committee Appointment

The Committee of Sydney Atheists regretfully would like to announce the departure of David Killingly from the Committee. David has been an outstanding member of Sydney Atheists who has contributed generously to our group both in time and scholarship. For personal reasons he will not be able to continue on the committee.

It gives us great pleasure, however, to announce the appointment in his place of Nick Sewell. Those who come along to our various Meetup events will know Nick. He adds a youthful pragmatic enthusiasm that will complement the Committee and give it tremendous balance. We welcome Nick to the committee and congratulate him on his appointment.
