I hope everyone had a happy (secular) New Year! Last week we talked about social action — community service, donating to the poor, blood drives, and the like. We had a pleasant discussion of everything from what people do to how we decide whom we support and what types of support are warranted and needed.
This week we’re talking about religion in the workplace. To what degree are expressions of religion — yours and others’ as well — accepted where you work? Are official and unofficial tolerance levels similar, or is there a difference? Do you discuss religion at work? Do your coworkers? How are religious differences handled? Come share your experiences and stories!

Last week we talked about Solstice, Yule and other Winter holidays. It was a pleasant conversation with regulars, new regulars, and a couple of irregulars in attendance. We wavered a bit on and off and about the topic, and in the end I think we covered it reasonably well.
Tonight’s topic is Social Action, especially from a Pagan perspective. Some religions ask and even expect their members to give time or money to social causes. It can be anything from working with the poor and infirm to helping with religious ceremonies and their costs and many things beyond. What social aid do Pagan groups ask of their members? Are those requests limited to the immediate ritual group, or do they extend beyond to the greater community? Should there be more, or should the expectations be decreased? In either case, what’s keeping us from getting there? Expectations aside, if an individual wants to help for religious reasons, what structures can Pagans draw on to ease and organize that aid? Come join us tonight, and share your experiences and ideas.
