More Churches of Freethought! |
The pioneering concept originated in North Texas by NTCOF is spreading across the globe! Other far-sighted, dedicated and enthusiastic Freethinkers in other towns have taken steps to establish or explore the idea of a Church of Freethought in their part of the world, and we are proud to list them here:
The Houston Church of Freethought -- Texas is now home to TWO full-fledged Churches of Freethought with the inauguration on March 12, 2000 of The Houston Church of Freethought. Founded by five longtime Freethinkers and modeled after the success and growth of NTCOF, HCOF holds their Sunday Services on the second Sunday of each month, starting at 10:30 AM sharp, at the Ramada Plaza Hotel in Houston. See their Web site for full details!

NTCOF Teens Yahoo! Group |
Many young Freethinkers in Texas face enormous pressure from their peers to conform to the illogic and unreason of belief in talking snakes and talking bushes...and it is extremely difficult for them to connect to other young atheists for mutual support and friendships.
We're trying to help change all that by inviting all young Freethinkers to join the NTCOF Teens Yahoo! Group. Click here to join on the Web or send any e-mail message to [email protected].
NTCOF Women Yahoo! Group |
The NTCOF Women Yahoo! Group was established to provide a discussion forum for the women and female friends of the North Texas Church of Freethought. The purpose of the list is general discussion, but from a feminine perspective.
NTCOF Women is unmoderated but requires subscription approval. Subscription is limited to women only. To join, send any e-mail to [email protected] or join on the Web.
