Dialogues

Our monthly Dialogues offer the Ottawa region a sustained, intimate setting for engagement with some of the best that has been said or written. Come read classics like Athanasius’s On the Incarnation as well as works by Isaac Watts, C.S. Lewis, and modern writers. Our ecumenical commitment means you are sure to encounter fresh perspectives in a respectful context. So, if you have been itching for a regular place to kick up your feet, laugh, and read books alongside other Christians, look no further!

The idea that science and religion conflict still has great traction in our society. The stories of Galileo’s trial and Darwin’s theory of evolution are often cited as supporting this. Arguments about Darwinian evolution are most often scientific, but it is less common, though arguably more important, to consider its philosophical and theological implications and their compatibility with Christianity. To stimulate our discussion, we will consider an article in which the author, a supporter of Evolution, attempts to salvage the theory from its circular reasoning.
