Lee Wimberly Evolution Weekend, Feb. 11-12, 2012
"Exploring the Gap Between Science and Religion"
Exploring the Gap Between Science and Religion is Lee Wimberly's first book. Lee's interest in the relationship between science and religion grows out of the stark contrast between his early Christian education and a later college degree in philosophy. When Lee is not writing or sailing, he works on such issues as ending homelessness, ending the war in Iraq, and furthering God's justice in the world.
Seminar, $10, Students free.
