From the Quarries

Good afternoon Quarrymen

This weekend I’ll be running an instant Premiere on YouTube of a new video titled The Belief in a Supreme Being? — a presentation based on a 2022 lecture by Bro. Harvey Lovewell. The exact start time is still to be confirmed, but the Premiere page will go live 24 hours in advance, so you’ll see it appear on the channel ahead of time.

For those who haven’t joined a Premiere before, this is not a livestream but a synchronised first viewing. Everyone watches the video together, in real time, and a live chat runs alongside it. The chat will open as soon as the Premiere is scheduled, so discussion can begin well before the video starts, and it often continues energetically during the screening itself. Once the video finishes, the chat closes and becomes part of the permanent replay, with any further discussion moving to the comments section.

To support the discussion, I’ll also be posting a copy of the original Lovewell lecture on the FTQ website and sharing the link in the Premiere chat and video description, so anyone who wishes to read alongside, before or after, can do so.

As always, the chat is open to all and moderated: disagreement is welcome, abuse is not, and thoughtful engagement is very much encouraged. I’ll be present in the chat, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this material lands with you.
