Darwin's Big Idea







Does it all stack up? Guest speaker Gerald Tanner will challenge our thinking: then with questions, there'll be a chance for you to challenge his.

At Dame Elizabeth Hall, Friday 29th, 7.30pm-9.30pm.

Want to whet your apetite? Have a read at some of these articles - whether you want to get your teeth stuck into a debate, you're intrigued, or wonder what value we have as human beings in this universe -
  • The Dawkins Letters, by David Robertson - light-hearted yet engaging and intelligent responses to chapters of Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion, now edited & published by CFP. The first letter got a huge response on Dawkins' own website - both positive and negative of course!
  • Peter May, a retired GP, writes on Has Science disproved God?
  • If TV's more your thing, and your interest was sparked by Channel 4's series The Genius of Darwin, presented by Richard Dawkins, you may like to have a look at Pete Hartwell's review before bringing your questions to Gerald on Friday.

Worth it?

Struggling with finances?

Financial problems are a major cause of stress and financial security is important to us all. That's why we're putting on a debt advice talk as part of our Priceless week.

Richard Gully, a member of our church, will be leading the surgery. "As a trained money adviser with 6 years of legal training, I have grown increasingly concerned at the amount of poor advice given on debt. I've worked in debt advice for 5 years helping the general public on a whole range of issues. There are no easy solutions but knowing a bit more about your rights and ways out can be a real help."

Richard will give a talk on the basics about handling debt and will point you in the direction of helpful organisations. He will also talk briefly on what the Bible has to say about money and debt. It may surprise you to see just how relevant it is for us today!

Dame Elizabeth Hall @ 7.30pm-8.30pm on Tuesday 26th.
