Sagan Day This Sunday: Announcing Our Speaker!
On the second Sunday of each month we meet for Humanist Haven, a nonreligious gathering to celebrate life's joys and reflect on its challenges, hosted in the Clubhouse at The Grove by YHC.
This  Sunday we'll be celebrating Carl Sagan Day, and we're thrilled to announce that Jacob J. Erickson is our guest speaker! Erickson is an Instructor of Religion at St. Olaf College, a PhD candidate at Drew University in Theological and Philosophical Studies, and a graduate of Yale Divinity School. He will talk about how the legacy of Sagan's evocation to wonder at our shared fragility in the cosmos might be viewed as a resource for addressing the immense weight of our contemporary ecological crises.

When: Sunday, November 9, 1 PM (with refreshments to follow)
