At the annual Dr. Barry Rankin Sunday at CTU on God’s Creation, CTU will present a panel presentation, Preaching with the Sciences, moderated by Ed Foley, Capuchin, Duns Scotus Professor Emeritus of Spirituality.
A primary way Roman Catholics explore their faith and nourish their spirituality is by participating in Sunday Mass and actively engaging in the homily. However, few preachers explicitly connect faith or spirituality with science. A recent grant from the John Templeton Foundation has gathered scientists and leading homileticians to explore the positive contributions science can make to preaching, and consequently contribute to more contemporary modes of believing. Our panelists will address how such contributions are grounded in the rich imaginations that scientists bring to their work as well as in scientific discoveries that have a potential for revealing religious truths and even shedding new insight on ancient teachings and beliefs.
