Sunday Assembly is a non-religious gathering co-founded by Sanderson Jones and Pippa Evans in January 2013 in London. These gatherings are mostly for non-religious people who want a similar communal experience to a religious church, though religious people are also welcome. As of December 2019, assemblies are established in 48 locations around the world with the majority in Europe and the United States, and are run and funded by volunteers from their communities.
Stand-up comedians Sanderson Jones and Pippa Evans started the first Sunday Assembly in North London in January 2013 as they “both wanted to do something like church but without God”. The first event, attended by over 300 people, was held in a deconsecrated church in Islington, but due to the limited size of the venue later meetings have been held in Conway Hall. Since then events have continued to be held, twice a month, with one attracting as many as 600 people
Sunday Assembly members volunteer, learn, get inspired, and celebrate life with their communities.
We live better, help often, and wonder more through events big and small.
Sunday Assembly Newcastle met for the 1st time at Northern Stage 11am December 15th 2013. Meetings were held over the years at The Stand, The Core and Alphabetti Theatre until October 2019.
