Sea of Faith in Oxford
The Sea of Faith Network is a national organisation which
seeks to “explore and promote religious faith as a human creation”. We have no creeds or dogmas, but we do
believe that religions represent an important part of human experience.
The local group meets on
Wednesdays at the Friends Meeting House, 43 St Giles, Oxford, from 2.00pm to
3.30pm in Oxford term-time.
The second meeting in Trinity term was on Wednesday 28th
May:
Graham Richards on Overlooked Faults in Creationism:
Graham spoke about the essential cross-purposes between material science
and Creationism or Intelligent Design, the one exploring the mechanism and
processes governing the physical world, the other trying to find human meaning
in an apparently totally indifferent universe.
