weeWONDERBOX: Starter for Ten – Practicing Faith In Science

An introductory conversation on the intersections between faith and science

weeWONDERBOX ‘Starter For Ten’ events are occasions where like-minded folk will be getting together to have an initial discussion around a particular topic or issue.

Each may prove to be a one-off meeting, or if there’s sufficient interest and enthusiasm, a subsequent event or series of events may be proposed.

‘Starters’ are open-fora and opportunities to talk, question and engage and possibly then open up further public exploration of things important to ourselves and our society as a whole.

Tonight, enabled by Pat Bennett, the Iona Community’s Programme Development Worker, we will address the subject of scientific thought and practice and where it overlaps (or doesn’t) with faith.

weeWONDERBOX: Strangers & Friends (2) – Seeking Sanctuary

‘Seeking Sanctuary’, the second in weeWONDERBOX’s ‘Strangers & Friends’ occasional series, which will focus on issues arising from the situation of refugees and asylum seekers.

Tonight, we offer an interactive workshop, led by Pol Yates and Kate O’Brien, which simulates and illustrates the difficult processes people must go through when seeking sanctuary in the UK. Using stories based on those of real people and events, it enables participants to discover the facts in a way which encourages them to engage with the information and empathise with those involved.
