Hello all!
I completely apologize for my lack of posts on this blog. The thing about the new program is that...it's new! That being said, I have been very busy getting other things together for the Values in Action program.
Such as program brochures, networking with community collaborators, and attending MANY meetings with other professors, students, and individuals who have interest in what we do.
All of this plus general preparation for upcoming programs. But, perhaps the most exciting (currently) of things to come is...
THE VALUES IN ACTION TEAM TRIP TO HARVARD!!
YES. We are going to Harvard! As it is the 'birthplace' of the Values in Action notion, we will be meeting with the humanist engagement groups there! Not only will this provide us with some new, awesome ideas, but it will also allow us to deepen our connection with the 'roots' of values in action.
We are very grateful to the Harvard community for helping us plan meetings, attend events and create an enjoyable experience! Any excuse to get on a plane is, (for me, at least) quite the good time.
Stay tuned for a blog post about our experiences! Feel free to comment and question!
Departure - Saturday Morning, March 8th
Return - Monday Evening, March 10th
Best,
Sof
Hamline's VIA program allows students who identify as Humanist, Unitarian or Atheist (or anyone) the opportunity to get involved with service work, explore interfaith connections, and break down the stereotype that non-theistic individuals have no place in which to be a moral agent, and do good in the world. VIA is inspired by Chris Stedman’s atheist-interfaith engagement groups at Harvard and Yale. (Author of "Faitheist – How an Atheist Found Common Ground with the Religious", 2012).
Statement of Purpose
We strive to build bridges with those who are searching, and those who have found their own truths.
