A Promising Beginning: A Report on the First Pascal Centre Conference on Science and Belief | Haas, JW. 1992.
PSCF 44(4):257-257. CELD ID 1642Abstract Over 130 participants from 8 nations gathered at Redeemer College in August to lay the groundwork for what the planners identified as an attack on the compromising legacy of secularism in placing a wall of separation between Christian faith and a scientific understanding of the world. Pascal Centre director and co-program chair, Jitse Vandermeer and a capable staff provided excellent accommodations and a meeting format which effectively integrated keynote addresses and small workshop sessions on specific themes. The conference focused on various relations between religious belief in God (faith), conceptual beliefs about God (including theology) and conceptual beliefs about the world (including science). The various sessions reviewed the current status of these relations and sought to identify basic questions for future study.
