What we’re about
Sunday Assembly London is a secula, nonpartisan community celebrating life! We get together on the first and third Sundays of every month to sing pop songs, hear poetry, listen to great speakers talking about life, science and other fascinating stuff, sing some more songs, and then have tea and cake.
Our goals are to LIVE BETTER, HELP OFTEN and WONDER MORE. We're open to everyone, and our Sunday morning events are free (donations welcome, of course).
We also have social groups and fundraising events - please sign up to receive our weekly newsletter so you can find out about all of our upcoming events and other important info from our community: http://eepurl.com/dn-2ED

See all- Sunday Assembly London Article Club #67National Theatre, London
We will be discussing these two articles:
Does Labour still despise the working class?
Has London reached peak toxicity? | David Mitchell | The GuardianHere is a recap of how the Club works:
1. We meet every six weeks or so in or near the National Theatre.
2. We vote in advance and pick two articles from a short list to read before we meet. Usually one relates to politics/current affairs and the other to history, culture or science.
3. We talk about each one for around half an hour and the beauty of Article Club is that we can think more deeply about the broader themes of a topic, and how well the article gets to grips with them.
4. We each give a score out of 10 for the articles that have been discussed.
5. We set the date for the next Article Club and sometimes adjourn to the pub.Nearer the time I will create a Google form that you can use to vote for the articles you would like to read and discuss at this event.
The point of Article Club is to challenge ourselves to read a diverse range of articles, share them with like-minded people and deal with our anxiety that we aren't reading books. Article Club was set up by Ross Bailey in 2015 who did a fantastic job at running it. Ross was followed by the equally fantastic Claire Ferraro and I (Alistair Baker) have been in the chair for the past six years.
