The God Debate

This Wednesday evening series, facilitated by Rev. Snider, will focus on dialogue among best-selling authors Sam Harris (The End of Faith) and Chris Hedges (I Don't Believe in Atheists). Harris, a self-professed atheist, has written extensively on the ways he sees religion as dangerous and unreasonable. Hedges, a Harvard Divinity School graduate and former New York Times journalist, writes from a Christian perspective that focuses on the enduring value of religion. The point of this series is not in determining who is definitively right or wrong, but rather in listening to the issues raised on both sides and considering how they affect our lives and world. While it's not necessary for participants to read their books, they will serve as a helpful supplement for those who wish to do so. Sessions will meet at 6:30 pm on the following dates:

April 30: YouTube debate between Hedges & Harris (Part I)
May 7: YouTube debate between Hedges & Harris (Part II)
May 14: On Science
May 21: On Ethics
May 28: On Images of God
