When Gill Met Joe Part 2

Sealing the Deal, A Baby is Born, Indoctrination, 'Spoilt Priests' and Spirituality for Secular Souls

Hi there,

In this second part of When Gill Met Joe, filmed on 3 March 2024 when I was guest speaker at a public event organised by Gill Bell, Convenor of North West Humanists, in Sligo we:

  • Read about the best birthday present I ever received (it was a chocolate biscuit!)

  • Become emotional in public reading aloud about the birth of my son

  • Discuss the indoctrination of children into religion and how hard it is to rewire the brain after it has been indoctrinated into religion in childhood

  • Explore the notion of the ‘spoilt priest’ and the shame often imposed on men of an earlier generation to mine who did not proceed to priestly ordination

  • Discuss the word spirituality and what it might mean to a person who is free of religious beliefs

Gill Bell, biodynamic psychotherapist, Humanist celebrant and Convenor of North West Humanists interviews guest speaker Joe Armstrong at North West Humanists’ public event on 3 March 2024 in Sligo.
