Liverpool's humanist heritage, with Madeleine Goodall | Humanists UK Convention 2023

Liverpool has a rich and varied humanist history, home to many prominent humanists as well as to organised groups of freethinkers for hundreds of years. In the late 19th and early 20th century, Liverpool had a positivist ‘Church of Humanity’, a thriving ethical society, and even one of only a handful of so-called ‘ethical churches’, led by socialist and suffragist Harry Youlden. Liverpool was the birthplace of a number of remarkable humanists, including the city’s first female MP, Bessie Braddock, and George Melly, jazz singer and former President of Humanists UK.

Join Humanist Heritage Coordinator Madeleine Goodall in a virtual walk through this vibrant heritage, and learn more about the wider history of the humanist movement, as glimpsed in the story of Liverpool.
