SUMMARY:Café Inquiry Grand Rapids - IN PERSON - Special Mother's Day Topic!
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Mother’s Day as Steve Andersen presents a topical dive on: Mother Nature\, Matriarchal Societies\, and Patriarchal Hegemony in the West. You can check out this info regarding our topic: Understanding Our History of Patriarchy: What’s Faith Got to do with it?  and The Land where Women Rule. A list of books on the topic can be found here. Steve’s takes on the issues he presents are always thought-provoking\, so this should be a very interesting discussion. Join us IN PERSON at 11 AM on Mother’s Day\, May 12! \nCafé Inquiry starts with a short introduction of the day’s topic\, followed by casual discussion. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Donations appreciated\, but not expected. \nAttendees are able to future propose topics which would align with Michigan Humanist’s purpose: from atheism\, agnosticism\, humanism\, secularism\, and freethinking to broader subjects in science and humanities\, such as religion\, philosophy\, social issues\, politics\, evolution\, morality\, ethics\, and psychology. \nCafé Inquiry (Grand Rapids) meets each month IN PERSON on the second Sunday and ONLINE on the fourth Sunday. \n— \nMichigan Humanists values the participation of all guests — requests for reasonable accommodation may be made by contacting the event host at least three days prior to the event. \nMichigan Humanists expects all guests to engage in respectful discussion.
