On the Origin of Species
Recent survey data suggests that one in three U.S. citizens find themselves caught in the tension between religion and science. In the fall of 2009, the bicentennial of the birth of Charles Darwin and the sesquicentennial of the publication of his landmark On the Origin of Species, we will read this text elaborating the theory of evolution by means of natural selection and consider its implication for religious belief and the life of faith.
Thursday evenings at 5pm beginning september 11
War and Religion
Religion has often been implicated in the fomenting of war and violence. In this study, we will read selections about the involvement of religion both inspiring violent conflict and in advocating its cessation.
