"Religion 2.0 -- The Sacred Side of Science:

Redeeming God, Evolving Faith, Saving Humanity"

OVERALL DESCRIPTION: A worldwide meta-religious movement has been emerging for decades, largely unnoticed, at the nexus of science, inspiration, and sustainability. Beliefs are inconsequential. What unites us are a pool of common values, priorities, and commitments re living in right relationship to reality and working together in service of a just and healthy future for humanity and the larger body of life. Reality is our God, evidence is our scripture, big history is our creation story, ecology is our theology, integrity is our religion, and ensuring a healthy future is our mission.

"Sacred Science and the New Theism: Right Relationship to Reality in the 21st Century"

SAT 1pm - 3pm:
