Venue: Back room (no smoking) on ground floor of Pitcher and Piano, 42 Kingsway, WC2B 6EY. (200m south of Holborn tube).<BR><BR>An Evening of Blasphemy with the Unitarians. To underline the absurdity of the law on Blasphemy, there will be an event on Wednesday, November 30 from 6.00 - 7.30 pm at the Unitarian Headquarters, Martineau Hall, 1-6 Essex Street, just opposite the Law Courts on The Strand, London. It will be light-hearted and satirical in tone, but with an important point to make. Carl Hill recently featured in <I>Time Out</I> heads a group of comics performing specially
written material; Cabaret artist, Sister Mary McArthur, will perform satirical songs, and others from the world of the arts will be present including, we hope, representatives from <I>Jerry Springer - the Opera</I>. There will be other attractions in a lively and stimulating event in celebration of free-thought down through the ages. Light refreshments. Bring your friends and other like-minded people. RSVPs aren’t essential, but would be appreciated. Rev. Dr. David Usher on 01732 465 248 or at <BR></FONT><FONT color=#0000ff size=4><U>dusher@sevenoaks-unitarians.org.uk</U></FONT><FONT size=4>.
