			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://skeptic.org.uk/images/stories/thinkweek.jpg" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="10"><a href="http://www.thinkweek.co.uk">Think Week</a> is a week-long series of free events from Monday 22nd to Sunday 28th February, exploring humanism, faith, religion, science and politics. Organised jointly by the <a href="http://www.oxfordatheists.org.uk/">Oxford Atheist Society</a>, <a href="http://www.oxsecsoc.com/">Oxford Secular Society</a>, <a href="http://www.humanism.org.uk/meet-up/groups/midlands/oxford">Oxford Humanists</a>, <a href="http://sofn-oxford.blogspot.com/">Oxford Sea of Faith</a> and <a href="http://oxford.skepticsinthepub.org/">Oxford Skeptics in the Pub</a>, the aim of the week is to expose the type of discussion and debate that these societies offer to a wider audience and to make people think about issues they probably haven&#8217;t thought about before. Refreshments will be provided at all events. Attendees are welcome to bring food to lunch time events.</p>
<p>We are also intending to post a daily summary of the events on The Skeptic Blog, contributed by the organisers of Think Week.<br />
