Continuing education... continues

I'm posting from Concordia College this evening, where I'm enjoying a conference as part of my continuing education requirement. I'm at the Summer Theological Conference, titled "God and Science." Obviously, these are both subjects that fascinate me, and today has been a very stimulating (if sometimes overwhelming) series of lectures. Our keynote speaker is Dr. Ian Barbour, the 1999 winner of the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion in recognition of his achievements in just exactly this area. Dr. Barbour has Ph.Ds in both physics and theology, and it was a privilege to attend a lecture of his.

Today's sessions focused on the physical sciences; tomorrow's will tackle the life sciences.

I'm having a good time, and it's nice to be back on campus at Concordia for a while. I was thinking last night how much I really enjoyed my years here.
