    Sunday Assembly: What is it?

    10:30 - 12:30Penta Hotel

    Oxford Road, Reading RG1 7RH.

    We are not solitary beasts. Our meaning is wrapped up in the lives of others. For some, connection is made in group identity, for others, it is with individuals but for most, both elements are required. We all crave community in some respect. Sunday Assembly is an experiment on how to create a space that satisfies these basic human needs without resorting to dogma, superstition, judgement or exclusivity.

    Sunday Assembly Reading has existed for nearly five years. It is about time we spent a moment explaining why we do this important and joyous thing.

    For those new to Sunday Assembly, both coming from religious or secular backgrounds. this will be a chance to investigate some preconceptions of what community is and how it can exist. For our regulars expect some bonus songs and games in a plusher air-conditioned venue.

    After the Assembly, we will either go for a picnic or to Brewdog depending on the weather.

    Sunday Assembly Reading is free to attend and runs entirely on donations.
