Bring Nate Phelps to Scotland
Donation protected
At the stroke of midnight on this 18th birthday, Nate Phelps - the sixth of Fred Phelps’ thirteen children - left home, and abandoned the Westboro Baptist Church forever.
In a very special event, Glasgow Skeptics is to host Nate Phelps, timed exactly five years on from the very first Glasgow Skeptics meeting.
To help us to bring Nate over from Canada, please give what you can. To make this possible, we need to raise £675 so that we can keep the event free and open to all. Anything you can give, whether it's £50, £20, or £5 will be massively appreciated. Every penny helps to get us closer to our goal!
Nate Phelps is son of the late Fred Phelps, founder and patriarch of the Westboro Baptist Church – “the most hated family in America”. Nate is Executive Director of the Centre for Inquiry Calgary. A vocal LGBT advocate, he speaks out against the dangers of religion and child abuse, and serves on the board of directors for Recovering from Religion.
Join us for a very special evening - on Glasgow Skeptics’ 5th birthday - in which we hear from Nate Phelps, in an incredibly moving talk on the Westboro Baptist Church, the childhood he spent growing up in it, and how he came to leave his family behind at the stroke of midnight on his 18th birthday.
Join the Facebook event, and invite your friends along. A personal invitation from a friend is by far the best way to get people involved, so please do let your friends know about this incredible free talk, open to all!
