In time for ‘Armistice Day’ -- which marks the 93rd anniversary of the end of “The War to End All Wars” on November 11 --  a new film has been released based on a presentation given at the “Humanism and Peace” conference in Oslo, in August 2011. The video “No More War: The Human Potential for Peace” captures the presentation given by Judith Hand at the World Congress of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU). It is a systematically researched and well-documented approach for ending war on earth.

You have just days left to take advantage cut price admission to the 2011 World Humanist Congress. And it already looks like it may be the biggest, most diverse Humanist meeting ever. But some key deadlines are fast approaching. To guarantee your place in Oslo in August go to http://www.human.no/oslo2011 now.  The early bird rate for the congress ends on May 15.

The Evangelical-Lutheran church in Norway is funded by the national budget, due to the state-church system. A system of compensation to the religious minorities is alleviating much, but not all, of this partiality. Many religious institutions also receive other forms of government funding.
