		<title>Kitten sexism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At home we are fostering two kittens for the Humane Society for a couple weeks while they recover from colds. One kitten is healing quickly, eating well, boldly jumping around, and growing rapidly.  The other one is not doing so well and is smaller, weak, not eating, and generally fearful.
Here&#8217;s the thing. Even though [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ethical Culture in the Huffington Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Huffington Post web site has a commentary by an Ethical Culture member who suggests that politicians be judged by their ethics, not by traditional religious labels.  Interestingly, though, the writer refers to Ethical Culture as a &#8220;secular group.&#8221; As I&#8217;ll be talking about this Sunday, Ethical Culture is humanist but also a religion, [...]]]></description>

		<title>MO legislature wants to be your minister</title>

		<title>Summer break for blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be taking a summer break from blogging while I&#8217;m on vacation and teaching at the American Ethical Union Lay Leadership Summer School.  
Perhaps it is part of my impending fuddy-duddiness now that I&#8217;m 40, but more and more I feel that it&#8217;s crucial to find real blocks of unconnected time, undistracted as much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fonkoze!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Been traveling a lot lately, last week to the American Ethical Union Assembly. Some good information on building strong Ethical Societies, as well as a pretty good drag show.
The most inspiring event, however, was a talk by a representative from Fonkoze, a micro-finance bank in Haiti run by and for the &#8220;organized poor.&#8221; Fonkoze has [...]]]></description>

		<title>PB&amp;J!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got back from the annual conference of the American Humanist Association, where among a bunch of interesting speakers, Bill Nye the Science Guy gave a great speech. Nye is a popular science educator, and the audience was asking him, basically, how to convince people who don&#8217;t believe in science that they&#8217;re wrong. Nye [...]]]></description>

		<title>Food Outreach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Saturday the Ethical Circle I&#8217;ve been facilitating did our yearly social action project, spending a morning helping out at Food Outreach.  This organization prepares, packages, and provides nutritious food to needy folks with HIV, AIDS, or cancer.  We packaged individual portions of veggie lasagna and salmon with dill sauce, both of which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Filmmakers looking for nontheist families to interview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The makers of a documentary-in-progress titled Skipping Sunday School are looking for parents and/or kids who would like to share their stories and experiences of growing up in nontheistic families.  The Ethical Society, of course, has a Sunday School, but not the type referred to in the documeantary title, I&#8217;m guessing.
If you&#8217;re interested in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fostering for the Humane Society</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I signed up with the Humane Society of Missouri as a volunteer foster parent.  Animals usually need fostering because they are too young to be spayed or neutered yet (the Humane Society will not let an animal be adopted that is not spayed or neutered&#8211;great policy), because they are getting over an illness [...]]]></description>
