First of all next week is Why Jesus? Week which is the re-named Mission Week for the Christian Union. Carl tells me there will be events going it all times of the day with Club Mission running through the night on Tuesday and Friday.
Secondly, the week starting February 18th is Discover Islam week. I don’t have any information on this year’s event yet but it will no doubt feature a selection of events each evening.
One Life got up to a good start on Thursday. We got quite a crowd down there and got some really good discussion going.
If you missed it then come along this Thursday and see what you think. The topic this week is about truth and beauty.
Just looking at the statistics for the videos uploaded to YouTube from Atheist Week.
By far the most popular is the debate “Richard Dawkins – positive or negative?” which has been watched by over 1,000 people!
Gijsbert Stoet’s talk “What’s wrong with agnosticism?” is also proving rather popular.
After a few weeks break over the holidays while the university was closed we’re back as of last night when we held our first meeting of 2008!
Things should really get going next week once a lot of people have finished their exams and have a bit more free time. Plus the week after we’re starting our One Life course so it’s all happening!
In the spirit of maintaining regular blog posts, merry winter solstice everyone!
The time of present giving being for the most part over means the society has been able to cash in on the January sales (which now start online on December 23rd apparently lol) in preparation for next year’s activities.
Along those lines Monty Python’s Life of Brian arrived this morning ready for it’s screening next month. Not an event to miss!
We’ve run into some real downtime problems recently so we’ve now moved to a new, hopefully more stable web server. So major downtime should be a thing of the past.
Shortly after our support rally which took place yesterday we received word that Gilligan Gibbons had been released and was now on her way back the UK!
It’s fantastic to think we had such an effect and so fast too! Congratulations to all involved

Atheist Week is going well. If you have missed a lot of it – don’t worry! It’s all going on YouTube.
With that in mind we have now launched our new video library which lists all of the videos we have now uploaded categorised into various topics.
Head over to the videos page to check it out. There are plenty more videos from Atheist Week on their way.
The informational page for Atheist Week is finally online. It details the various events that are going on including the specific talks and other events, where they are, what time, etc.
It’s quite an exciting time for the society at the moment. Which is why we haven’t blogged for ages, it’s all just been too exciting :p. Seriously though.
Tonight’s meeting, “What God can’t do” saw a strong turn-out and quite a good chat in the pub afterwards. Plus we have a lot of exciting events coming up.
Namely, in a few weeks time it’s Atheist Week. This is a week long (well, 4 days actually so not a week at all) series of events, debates and talks about Atheism. It’s not quite on the scale of Rationalist Week but it’s going to be big!
Secondly, the weekend following that is the Weekend in London. We’re currently throwing together all the details for that and it’s shaping up to be an amazing weekend. One which I wouldn’t want to miss!
