The Op's question..


My question to you SC is...

What is it exactly do you think an "outreach" program is supposed to provide?

Outreach.

Providing a place for a certain type of godless person to congregate is not outreach. Especially with this caveat: "Our vision: a godless congregation in every town, city and village that wants one." Outreach usually comes without an invitation.

6. the act of extending services, benefits, etc., to a wider section of the population, as in community work.
adjective
7. concerned with extending community services, benefits, etc.:

How does the Sunday assembly providing a place for atheists to get together and worsh... "celebrate life" NOT fall under that definition?

The Sunday Assembly

 1. Is 100% celebration of life. We are born from nothing and go to nothing. Let’s enjoy it together.

 2. Has no doctrine. We have no set texts so we can make use of wisdom from all sources.

 3. Has no deity. We don’t do supernatural but we also won’t tell you you’re wrong if you do.

 4. Is radically inclusive. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their beliefs – this is a place of love that is open and accepting.

 5. Is free to attend, not-for-profit and volunteer run. We ask for donations to cover our costs and support our community work.

 6. Has a community mission. Through our Action Heroes (you!), we will be a force for good.

 7. Is independent. We do not accept sponsorship or promote outside businesses, organisations or services

 8. Is here to stay. With your involvement, The Sunday Assembly will make the world a better place

 9. We won’t won’t tell you how to live, but will try to help you do it as well as you can

10. And remember point 1… The Sunday Assembly is a celebration of the one life we know we have

Sounds like they are providing a community service to me....
