As the number of non-believers continues to rise, the needs of non-believing parents do, too. A group of families in Raleigh-Durham, NC, have formed a congregation called Parenting Beyond Belief (Parents Gather to Nurture Nonbelief), named after the eponymous 2007 book. These parents, like parents everywhere, feel the need to come together to raise and nurture their children in a community of like-minded people.An article from the book Parenting Beyond Belief will be the subject of an August 30 Summer Platform; Dale McGowan, author of the book, will conduct a Parenting Beyond Belief seminar on October 17; and deliver a Platform on October 18. All three events will take place at the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County. The seminar will also be given on November 7 at the Religious Education Conference and Family Weekend of the American Ethical Union in Stony Point, NY.
