Science and Religion Group UCN will be resurrecting it's Science and Religion Group some time in March or April (stay tuned for starting date - will be held after a Sunday service.) The first topic will be: "Complementary Paths Toward Creation Appreciation?" We'll start with life-interconnectedness and consider tension between earth preservation and earth utilization. We'll stay in touch with contemporary science as we plunge into questions of morality, religion, and philosophy. We'll attempt to adhere to some structure in our discussions. Structural chaos is our format. Interested? Call Merle Reinhr at 920/564-6185.
