7/26/09

The Forum this Sunday at 9:00 in Founders’ Hall (new time and place) will be led by own Bob Ginaven, PhD, who will discuss the relationship between science and religion. How intelligent (or creative) is “Intelligent Design”? Albert Einstein astutely observed, “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” Next week Karen Mason and John Eldon will lead a special forum on the economic meltdown, which has claimed almost everyone as a victim in one or more ways. We are starting a Great Depression 2.0 support group for everyone who has been adversely affected by recent economic events and eagerly solicit your suggestions and comments.
