Anyone who has heard
Dr. Lamoureux speak before knows we're in for a treat. Besides his
extensive scientific and theological knowledge, he has a great deal to share
about his own experiences making sense of the modern world. Below are a
few introductory facts about Dr. Lamoureux.

religion at St. Joseph's College in the University of Alberta. His academic
specialty focuses on the modern origins controversy. He has debated leading
anti-evolutionists Phillip Johnson, Michael Behe and JonathanWells. He is a

Origins (1999). Lamoureux holds three earned doctoral degrees: dentistry,
theology and biology.
October 1 - Social Night!!!
That's right, tonight is all about having fun! Rather than
giving us a talk tonight, Colin sends the following message to all the faithful
Newmanites:
We have planned an awesome scavenger hunt that you don’t want to
miss. I have talked with the weather people and they tell me it should be a
beautiful night to be outdoors, so we will be! We will meet in the same room
(Kiva, Ed North 2-103) at the same time (7:00pm). Be sure to wear appropriate
outdoor clothes and shoes. There will be prizes and they won’t just be hugs!
October 8 - Thanksgiving weekend.
There will be no SALT because it is the Thanksgiving long weekend
and we couldn’t have you be at SALT when you should be giving thanks!
October 15 - Sr. Bonnie Moser will be talking to us tonight
about prayer.
October 22 - Doris Keiser will address the
group on marriage and divorce.
October 29 - Potluck with Shine.
