Sunday Agenda
March 7th
Speaker: Sheila Harty – “Intellectuals Are STILL Neglected Sheep." American
Christianity's lack of intellectual heft results from a strategic seduction of the
masses to mute deep thought. This "dumbing down of faith" eclipses underlying
metaphysical truths. Intellectuals need a more sophisticated conceptual
framework--like quantum physics.
Forum: Science and Religion – In this lecture, we will examine one formulation of
the historical relationship between science and religion – the warfare or conflict
thesis. Loudly advanced in the 9th century by two men-John William Draper and
Andrew Dickson White- it has continued strong in thought down to the present
day. We will examine how this formulation rests on very shaky (and sometimes
fabricated) foundations and was contrived largely from quite specific political,
professional and racist purposes.

Speaker: Jim McIntosh -- "Belonging" Belonging is a goal that we all seek, we

not feel that we have found such a place. Belonging has great rewards, but it also
carries responsibilities. What does it really mean to be a member of anything?
