About us
Hello Everyone!
Thank you for checking out Church of the Cosmos!
We are a group of individuals dedicated to understanding the true story of who we are, where we came from, and what it means to be a human in the cosmos. The story of the cosmos is the story of us. It's your story, and you have a right to know it.
This is a Meetup Group for people that want to:
A) learn more about the cosmos and its creations
B) give back to their communities in a meaningful, secular way
C) gather together to show appreciation and gratitude for the many gifts that we receive from the Cosmos
D) express their appreciation for the universe and for life without subscribing to any god mythologies
This story is just beginning. I need you to help me write it.
Please do not hesitate to message me directly if you have any questions/comments about the group. I'm always looking for ways to improve our meetups.
Regards,
Reece

Church of the Cosmos Wednesday Night Screening + Discussion
·OnlineOnlineGreetings Fellow Cosmonauts!
Please join us VIRTUALLY tonight (Wednesday, July 15th) for the 2nd installment in our 9-week series The History of Money.
Tonight we will watch 2 lectures focused on money management and banking.
A summary of tonight's features is below:
Money and The Rise and Fall of Rome
Rome dominated the Mediterranean world for many centuries. Its power rested not only on military strength, but also on a financial system built around stable, widely accepted coinage, state control of precious metals, and a vast network of taxes and tribute. Ultimately, mounting administrative costs, political instability, and the debasement of currency led to the empire’s disintegration.
Money in the Early Medieval Era
After the fall of Rome in the West, coin-based economies largely collapsed. In places like early medieval England, exchange reverted to gift-giving and reciprocal obligations among lords and vassals. Over time, old Roman and foreign coins reentered circulation, paving the way for locally minted coinage—an innovation driven by expanding markets, long-distance trade, and the need for portable value.
What to Expect
Don't worry if you don't know anything about this subject matter. No prior understanding of science, money or finance is required to appreciate tonight's programs and to participate in the discussion period.
This is a safe-space for science and for humans who want to talk about science freely.
