Sunday Assembly Detroit is a secular congregation that meets to hear great talks and generally celebrate the wonder of life. It’s a service for anyone who wants to live better, help often, and wonder more.
This free event is in beautiful Farmington Hills. We'll listen to a talk then enjoying a meal during the event.
**Speaker**
We don't have clergy, instead we have local community leaders and thinkers. For this month we are having Austin Edwards talk about The Humanism of Anarchy.
Here is a taste of what he'll talk about this month:
Anarchy is a scary word for many and is severely misunderstood as violent and extreme. However, atheists and Humanists alike already use many anarchistic concepts when they fight for secularism and social justice and as they form and work together in groups. Together we'll break down what anarchy really is and how it's difficult to be fully Humanist without it.

**Radically Inclusive**
We are a radically inclusive community and we welcome our LGBTQIA+ brothers, sisters, and siblings. We will have material supplied from Affirmations on our welcome table along with free prophylactics and feminine hygiene products.
We also welcome everyone along the secular/religious spectrum. Whatever your degree of religion, spirituality, or utter lack thereof you are welcome here. As an organization, we don't do religious, spiritual, or supernatural things, but we don't dwell on that -- rather we focus on Humanism and its associated values.
**Little Free Library**
If all of that doesn't bring you in, then maybe your love of reading will. We have a running little free library at our assemblies so we encourage you to bring a book to exchange or to take a book to enjoy.
**We can't wait to see you!**
If you're looking for an inviting and positive community, you've come to the right place. We look forward to getting to know you if you're new and welcoming you back home if you've been before.
