This will be an all-day conference primarily for Christian Graduate Students and Faculty members. More details coming soon.

ABSTRACT: I'll consider the claim on the part of several theologians, philosophers and scientists that modern science shows or suggests that God never acts specially in the world , i.e., never acts beyond creation and conservation. (Miracles would be an example of special divine action.) I'll argue that there is no conflict between special divine action and classical science, i.e. Newtonian science. What is needed to get conflict there is the causal closure of the physical universe; but that's not part of classical science.

This is a joint fellowship meeting of Cornell Christian Fellowship and Grace Christian Fellowship.

Several of us went to this last year. It was a GREAT conference. If you're at all into art, it's just terrific. Watch for more info as the date approaches.

We are pleased to present Philadelphia-area actor Anthony Lawton's adaptation and performance of The Great Divorce, based on the novel by C.S. Lewis. The Great Divorce is the story of Clive, a hapless professor, and the motley band of discontents who join him on a very curious bus ride. Journeying between Hell and Heaven, Clive crosses a surprising, wildly inventive landscape drawn by Lewis' philosophical imagination. Satirical and comic, The Great Divorce is a wondrous ride filled with dazzling insight and language.
