‘Can a scientist believe in God?’ presented by Rev Dr Christopher Mulherin

Many people say (or fear?) that God and science don’t mix. In faith-based schools, 60 per cent of secondary students say Christianity and science conflict. This introduction to the ‘conflict myth’—which is eligible for maintaining accreditation in Catholic schools in Victoria and Queensland—offers some clues about how to understand the science–faith relationship as a harmonious one.

Engaging Your Faith is a series of short, online presentations that invite participants to reflect on what it means to be people of faith in the contemporary world. Experienced lecturers from Catholic Theological College present on a variety of topics such as philosophy, spirituality, biblical studies, Christian meditation, theology, interfaith relations, and issues in science and religion.

These sessions are eligible for maintaining accreditation in Catholic schools in all Victorian and Queensland dioceses. In other dioceses, teachers should check with their education office.

Bookings close on Monday 28 October, 5pm.
