open forum with alister mcgrath

Anyone who reads this is invited to come to what is promising to be a great Open Forum. Alister McGrath is brilliant guy who is a Professor of Historical Theology at Oxford and has PhD in molecular biophysics. He'll talk about how science and faith interact, focusing mainly on his book Dawkins' God: Genes, Memes, and the Meaning of Life. He is an acclaimed lucid writer and compelling speaker.

He'll give a lecture, followed by an interview which will involve taking questions from the audience. This isn't really a church service, just an educational experience, and is great for those who are either unfamiliar with Christian faith and/or have scientific reasons not to believe. This would be a great opportunity to bring your friends (both Christian and non-Christian). While this isn't exactly going to be an evangelistic outreach, it will (hopefully) make us think a little more, as well as give a fresher insight into the Christian faith for those who have misconceptions of it. Christians will be greatly benefitted by this as well. Most of the time, people who don't go to church (or don't like to go to church) attend these forums.

It'll be on Sunday, October 22 (two weeks from now) at 7 pm, and usually doesn't go past 9. The location is the Russian Center (2460 Sutter St., between Divis and Broderick). I'm sure I'll see ALL of you there ;)
