This is my last post on Buddha's Pillow.
My new blog is The Practical Humanist.
The title says it all. I have been working with remarkable people at the Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard since last year. Greg Epstein, the Humanist Chaplain, has managed to open the first Humanist Student Center on a university campus in the United States this year. Seeing the development of a humanist community at Harvard is the actualization of a dream I have shared with many: The coming together of people for the promoting the greater good without the trappings and divisiveness of religion.
In the spirit of this new Humanism, I have decided to write under a more direct title, one which better describes me and the way I view humanism in my life.
