Humanist Association of Ireland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Humanist Association of Ireland (HAI) is an Irish Humanist organisation. It is a voluntary body founded in 1993 to promote Humanism, which they describe as
an ethical philosophy of life, based on a concern for humanity in general, and for human individuals in particular. This view of life combines reason with compassion. It is for those people who base their interpretation of existence on the evidence of the natural world and its evolution, and not on belief in a supernatural power.[1]
The HAI publishes the quarterly magazine, The Irish Humanist. They also run an annual summer school in association with Humani and the Belfast Humanist Group and host a Darwin Day lecture in Trinity College Dublin.
The HAI is also active in providing Humanist alternatives to traditional wedding, baptism and funeral ceremonies.[2]
The HAI is a member organisation of the European Humanist Federation and is affiliated to the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU). The official symbol of the HAI is the Happy Human.
Currently monthly meetings are held on the first Sunday of every month in one of the meeting rooms in Buswell's Hotel at the corner of Kildare Street and Molesworth Street in Dublin 2 (opposite Leinster House).
