CFSI inaugural colloquium with ASA president Jennifer Wiseman
Knoxville's Center for Faith and Science International (CFSI) is hosting an inaugural colloquium on Friday, May 14. I am not familiar with CFSI, but I thought those in the east Tennessee vicinity might be interested in this announcement.
The Center for Faith and Science International (CFSI) (www.cfsint.org) is pleased to announce its first Colloquium of Science luncheon, scheduled for Friday May 14th, 2010. CFSI is inviting researchers and educators from Oak Ridge National Labs, the University of Tennessee, and other East Tennessee institutions to attend these luncheons to further explore implications of recent scientific discoveries relative to faith. The Center is providing a forum for world class scientists to present findings as to how their research continues to shape their faith and worldview.
CFSI is honored that Dr. Jennifer Wiseman, an astronomer with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, has accepted an invitation to be our inaugural speaker for the Center’s quarterly Science Colloquium luncheon.
You are cordially invited to join us at this Science/Faith Luncheon. Please RSVP via e-mail to Rob Zimmer (rzimmer@cfsint.org) or call 865-244-3209.
