Intersections of Science and Faith
The vision statement for the Science and Faith Seminar Series is taken from Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si', where he states, “Science and religion, with their distinctive approaches to understanding reality, can enter into an intense dialogue which is fruitful for both.” The speakers (shown in the photographs above from left) include Dr. Fred C. Tenover, Dr. Christopher Graney, Dr. William Trollinger, Dr. Susan Trollinger, Dr. Jan Stets, Father James Heft, S.M., and Dr. Jeffrey P. Bishop.
