This audio was recorded at the first ever community of good meeting held in Logan, Utah

at the Unitarian Church in Logan, Utah on September 27th, 2015.

John D'Alene is giving the main presentation and Tanner Gillerland is conducting.

Hope you enjoy.

Welcome everybody to the first ever official community of good meeting.

As I'm sure you are aware, this is a secular community, a sort of non-religious church.

And if this is not being a church, we know that humanity has historically evolved to take part in tribes that have been somewhat divisive,

exclusive, distrusting of differences.

And today we are working on the evolution to the next thing.

Those who do not have a religious home who don't affiliate with organized religions, but who want that sense of community,

and the benefits that we get from learning from people, visiting different perspectives, and sharing this communal experience together.

So we hope that this is the start of good things to come.

Everybody is welcome.

There is all sorts of perspectives that are able to be shared here, and we hope we can learn and grow together and provide the strength and support that comes from being in a tight-knit community.

My name is Tanner Gillerland.

I am maybe contrary to what you're thinking. I'm not 15 years old.

I'm 25.

And so I'm conducting today, just kind of volunteer to do this.

And we're going to turn some, or time over to John Dillin here is going to say some words.

And then after which we're going to take a minute to just introduce ourselves each one, because we'd like to get to know each other and discuss what we, what kind of needs that we have as far as this sort of group,

where we'd like to see what sort of experience we'd like to create for the people here in Cash Valley.

So thank you all for coming. Today this is going to be a wonderful thing.
