SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Becoming Human: Evolution\, Science\, and the Soul
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Lumen Christi Institute’s Newman Forum\, in cooperation with the University of St. Mary of the Lake\, Mundelein\, and the Archdiocese of Chicago Vocations Office. Open to current high school students. \nHigh school teachers and youth ministers are welcome to attend\, and are encouraged to bring groups. Group leaders are now able to register themselves and their students together! This is especially encouraged for groups coming from outside of Chicagoland\, to ensure groups remain together during the breakout sessions (see below).  \nWhat can the science of evolution know? How is it related to religion\, especially Catholic doctrine? Are they complementary or mutually exclusive? \nQuestions like these have guided much of the scientific and religious investigation of the 20th and 21st centuries. In recent decades\, discoveries of humanoid fossils have revealed new links between human ancestors and animals. Archaeologists and evolutionary biologists have called these discoveries “humans\,” but what does that mean for what it means to be human? How are you different or distinct from your pre-human ancestors?\n\nThe scientific evolutionary model is inherently limited in its understanding of the human person. It leaves us with as many questions as it answers: Where does the human soul come in? How are humans different from animals? What makes us human?\n\nAnswers to these questions can only be gained by recognizing the value –and the limits– of the evolutionary model. Philosophy and theology can provide us a guide when the science falls short.\n\nJoin us Thursday\, June 11th at 2:30pm CDT for an online lecture with Chris Baglow\, Director of the Science and Religion Initiative at Notre Dame’s McGrath Institute for Church Life. Dr. Baglow is also the author of the premier science and religion textbook used by numerous Catholic schools in its science and theology curricula\, Faith\, Science\, and Reason: Theology on the Cutting Edge.\n\nDuring our time together\, we’ll listen to a short lecture\, hold a brief Q&A\, and then break into discussion groups to further dialogue about the questions that arise at the intersection of Christianity and evolution. The event should run until approx. 4pm.\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n\nThere is no charge for the seminar\, but a good-will donation of $10 is encouraged.\n\nWe are expecting a high volume of attendees for this event!  We encourage you to register by Tuesday\, June 9th to ensure your spot\, and to assist in our creation of discussion groups.\n\nThis event is made possible by a generous gift from the John Templeton Foundation\, as well as by a grant from The Our Sunday Visitor Institute\, as a part of their “Re-Captivating Millennials” initiative\, and by our many institutional and high school cosponsors: \n\nINSTITUTIONAL COSPONSORS:\nUniversity of St. Mary of the Lake\, Mundelein\, The Archdiocese of Chicago Vocations Office\, The McGrath Institute for Church Life\, The Society of Catholic Scientists\n\nHIGH SCHOOL COSPONSORS:\nBenet Academy\, Fenwick High School\, Northridge Preparatory School\, St. Ignatius College Prep\, Willows Academy\n\n\nIf you have questions regarding the Newman Forum\, registration\, or any of our programs\, feel free to reach out to the Newman Forum team:\n\nAustin Walker\nDirector of the Newman Forum\nawalker@lumenchristi.org\n\nMadison Chastain\nProgram Coordinator of the Newman Forum\nmchastain@lumenchristi.org

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: How NOT to Get Away with Murder (Again!)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Lumen Christi Institute’s Newman Forum. Open to current high school students. \nWe’ve run this event in-person\, but now we’re bringing it to you online! When you register\, you will be sent a Zoom link to follow. The event will run from 3:00pm-4:00pm\nAre you already tired of being quarantined in your house? Feel a little bit like you might kill your siblings? \nThe book of Genesis is one of the most interesting and difficult books of the Bible. And there is so much more to it than meets the eye. For example: \nHow was a snake able to trick Eve? Why do Adam and Eve respond to God so suspiciously? And then there’s the Cain and Abel story…why on Earth does Cain jump to murdering his brother? What are we supposed to learn from this Scripture? \nThis hour-long seminar will investigate these passages in the 3rd and 4th chapters of Genesis.  By reading the text closely and paying attention to what is (and isn’t) there\, we will discover a whole new complexity to the relationship between God\, the first four humans\, and the snake.  Not only is God revealed as imminently just and merciful\, but also as a very acute observer of human psychology!\n\nCome to whichever session fits your new online schedule the best! All you’ll need is access to a Bible (either a real-life book or just online!) We’ll read the text together\, and discuss!\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER!\nResources from this seminar are drawn from Joseph Ratzinger’s (Pope Bendict’s) In the Beginning…’: A Catholic Understanding of the Story of Creation and the Fall.\n\nThere is no charge for the seminar\, but a good-will donation of $10 is encouraged.\n\n(Teachers and Youth Ministers may sit in\, if interested. Please register as “Other\,” and log in to the provided Zoom link 15 minutes prior to your session’s start time to ensure you are properly muted.)
