This discussion group is a chance to meet new friends and to share ideas about the separation of church and state. It is free and open to everyone.
Before we begin each meeting, we allow some time for people to gatherand settle in. Then we do introductions. We also encourge you to bring your issues your ideas and something to share: articles, cartoons, flyers, stories, outrages, etc. Of course, most of the time is just informal discussion and chat with new and not-so new friends.
Our meeting is free. Most of our meetings are at venues allowing you to purchase food and beverages. Please join us and bring a friend.

This discussion group is sponsored by the Columbia Chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State so like-minded people can meet and discuss issues. It is not a chapter activity for our members. In fact, most people who attend are not chapter members. Like many other Meetups, it is simply an informal discussion time. It is open to everyone.
