Like the great contributors to reason throughout history, our job as
individuals is to take the very best from the debate within our global
society and apply it to our lives. We have a responsibility to not just
accept what anyone else says, but to understand ideas as best we
can. Then we can either choose to disagree, or to agree and then
apply that each day in our lives. To facilitate this, MOR provides
local chapters that are designed to provide a supportive and
rational environment for families and individuals.
MOR local chapters generally hold weekly meetings.. The local
chapter also holds special events and volunteer efforts. In
addition, members can join special interest groups (SIG) that
focus on either studying, socializing, or actively contributing to the
community. These SIGs often set up events for the local chapter in
their area of specialty as well as offering a more personal support
and social groups for people.
MOR weekly meeting are structured with the following activities:
1) a half hour presentation focusing on kids with adults welcome.
2) a half hour break for refreshments and socializing, including
brief announcements.
4) a half hour presentation for adults with children welcome
5) open ended discussions. Members can divide into specific
discussion groups as they like when the main meeting ends
College student chapters of MOR substitute a Book Reading
Round Table, and a Guest Speaker Series for the
children-oriented component. Field trips are also an option.
The topics of the chapter meetings are coordinated at the national
level in order to provide consistency and common focus among
MOR members. However, the curriculum is designed to raise
questions and promote rational debate among group members.
Topics range from pertinent ethical and social issue to subjects of
personal inspiration, interpretation, and discovery.
Many people are looking for a place where they can nurture their
children with a fulfilling experience and provide them the ethical
and intellectual tools to face life's challenges. MOR chapter
meetings are designed to provide this focus in young lives while
providing reason-minded families the opportunity to socialize in a
welcoming environment.
The following bumper sticker includes the MOR Chapter emblem,
the polygon eye. It reminds us two things:
- the scrutiny of our own reason
- the creativity of our own vision
