Modern Science, Ancient Faith

The Portsmouth Abbey School will be hosting a conference by the Portsmouth Institute June 22-24th, entitled Modern Science, Ancient Faith . The speakers, including William Dembski of Baylor University, Kenneth Miller from Brown, Abbot James Wiseman, O.S.B., of Catholic U. and St. Anselm College, Rev. Nicanor Austriaco from Providence College, and John Haught of the Woodstock Theological Seminary at Georgetown University, will explore the practical implications of teaching faith and science at universities today:

“In today’s increasingly secular society,” comments Portsmouth Institute director James MacGuire, “we see a great opportunity to celebrate what Templeton Prize winner Rev. Dr. John Polkinghorne has called ‘the friendship of science and religion,’ and this outstanding line up of scientists, philosophers and theologians—lay and religious, believers and agnostics—will help us do just that.”
