Is God Worth a Second Look? - Frank Stootman - 8th November - Friday Night Lecture

Western Society is, to all intents and purposes, atheist. Our
scientific, economic, political, and educational institutions all
operate practically as if God is irrelevant. What has happened in
both the sciences and humanities that has created this situation and
what are the consequences? When examined closely, is there a
rational case which, once again, points in the Biblical direction
towards the Hebrew God - which underpins both the form of the
universe and our humanity?

relationship between Christianity and Science both nationally and

We will be doing something a little different this series - our
speakers will be zoom-ing in and speaking to us from afar. This will
allow our local supporters to meet some of our colleagues from
other L'Abri branches and hear a little of their work in other parts of
the world. This Friday we visit Sydney, Australia!
