The Nave at St Paul’s Steiner School
Speaker: Andy Stanton
Our first assembly!
Starting things is so hard. There’s the dread of work, the bogeyman of failures past, and future, and all manner of mental booby traps that prevents you from getting going.
Luckily people like Andy Stanton, fantastic children’s author and creator of the cult Mr. Gum series, show that it can be done. Hear how his first book took almost a decade of dropping out and dead end jobs to write.
How our homepage described us at the time
The Sunday Assembly is a godless congregation that will meet on the first Sunday of every month to hear great talks, sing songs and generally celebrate the wonder of life. It’s a service for anyone who wants to live better, help often and wonder more.
Come on down to hear inspirational speakers and to enjoy a morning that is part-atheist church, part-foot stomping show.
Each event will have a theme – the first one is on ‘Beginnings’ on Sunday January 6th 2013 – with stories, readings and a final address on that topic.
No matter what the subject the goal of The Sunday Assembly is to solace worries, provoke kindness and inject a bit more whizziness into the everyday.
We meet in The Nave on St. Paul’s Road in de Beauvoir, between Hackney and Islington (for directions click here), and it will start at 11 am (latecomers go straight to HELL!). It would be a pleasure to see you there.
