Darwin Symposium - Christian Reflections: New York City

The Academy for Christian Thought (ACT) is presenting a Darwin Symposium in conjunction with the Metanexus Institute (Funded by the John Templeton Foundation). It will be hosted at Calvary Baptist Church located at 123 W57th Street, NYC on April 22nd from 9am - 1pm.

Guest speakers will be Jeannie Drew (Head of Science of Riverdale Country School), Charlie Drew (Pastor), and Ron Choong (Apologist of Science & Theology). They will be examining the relationship between science and the Christian faith, and clarifying the issues at stake by addressing both the meaning and the implications of Darwin's work. Since Darwin has been the most influential thinker to shape the modern direction and understanding of science and philosophy, it is important that we understand his work. The symposium will present a Christian perspective on Darwin's writings, theories, and the current Darwin exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History.
