- A War Story About Love? with Seth AndrewsWichita Oasis, Wichita, KS
Over a hundred years ago, for just a few miraculous moments, fierce enemies became friends. How did this happen? What causes people to dismantle walls and open doors? And how might love overcome hate in this crazy and chaotic world? The reasons are messy and often unclear, but we've seen what's possible when we appeal to the better angels of our nature.
Seth will be available to sign books and take photos before and after the presentation. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
Doors open at 10:30 am. No entry after 11:15 am.
There is parking to the north and west of the building. Enter through the south or northwest doors.
About Seth Andrews
Seth Andrews is a former evangelical and Christian broadcaster who now hosts The Thinking Atheist…one of the most popular podcasts and online atheist communities in the world. The Thinking Atheist is not a person. It is an icon encouraging all to reject faith and pursue reason and evidence. He also hosts a second podcast, “True Stories with Seth Andrews,” and has authored several books.With a mix of humor and heart, Seth Andrews has spoken for audiences large and small in the U.S, Canada, Europe, and Australia about his former faith, the promotion of science and skepticism, the importance of Humanism in this often crazy world, and why we should all pursue a personal relationship with reality.
