New Chairman

Editor — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 15:01:20 +0000

I’m standing down as Chairman of the CHA after helping to get the organisation off the ground a few years ago.

It’s been fun. Just today we hear that the British Chiropractic Association has dropped its libel case against Simon Singh (our speaker at last year’s Conservative Party conference). Oh and Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens have been in the media about the legal action against the pope – Richard was our speaker at the Party Conference year before last.

Vikki Chamberlin is taking over as Chairman with immediate effect. I’ll continue to be a supporter but will no longer take an active role in the CHA.

Many thanks for your support and interest over the last few years. Over to Vikki…

Keeping Up…

Editor — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 16:25:41 +0000

As Editor of this site I’m a disgrace, I know. It’s hard to keep it up to date.

However, if you’d like to keep up to date with my rants you may want to pop over to my personal blog over at jeffpeel.net - you’ll have to put up with me wittering about Northern Ireland’s crazy, religion obsessed, political system. But sometimes I try to slip in blog posts about Conservatism, Humanism, Secularism or all three.

Andrew Boff Joins our Group

I was delighted to note that Andrew Boff has joined our Conservative Humanist Facebook Group. Andrew was one of the runners for Conservative Candidate for the London Mayoral race. He was pipped by Boris but has had a long involvement in local government in London.

He commented…”Wow! Fantastic … to my shame I wasn’t aware that we had a group within the Conservatives. I should mention that I have views on a number of some moral issues that may be at odds with the majority of opinion in the BHA. I’ve been very frustrated at having broadly “Pro-Life” views but feeling that that side of the debate has been dominated by religious references rather than rational thought.”

Well done Andrew and you are very welcome.
