At the recent Crystal Clear Atheism conference, Secular Student Alliance Advisory Board member Margaret Downey performed a secular baby naming ceremony.  The ceremony was for the twin daughters of Secular Student Alliance Advisory Board member Shannon Cherry and Institute for Humanist Studies Executive Director Matt Cherry.  Matt wrote a piece about the ceremony that was published in the Washington Post.

Secular Student Alliance Advisory Board member Richard Dawkins also participated in the ceremony along with IHS President Larry Jones, IHS Legislative Liaison Jennifer Lange, Camp Quest Director Amanda Metskas, IHS Board Member Bobbie Krikhart, Camp Quest Co-founders Edwin and Helen Kagin, and Secular Student Alliance Executive Director August E. Brunsman IV. Shannon's mother also participated in the ceremony--to the best of our knowledge, she is not officially affiliated with any freethought organizations.
