"The Evolution course was thoughtful, challenging and helped me come to
new understandings of religion and my way of seeing the world. The conversational
tone of the class invited and allowed me to feel comfortable asking my
rather simplistic questions. I have often felt uncomfortable in academic settings where
questions were handled with disdain, your kind and thoughtful responses were refreshing."
-- Reverend Richard Venus, The First Unitarian Universalist
Church of Dayton, Ohio
"The course was one of the most intellectually stimulating courses I have ever taken."
-- Past Participant from New York, New York

Evolution, stem cell research, genetic counseling, reproductive technologies, beginning and end of life questions: responding to today's hotly contested issues requires both pastoral sensitivity and scientific knowledge.
This ground-breaking course will offer participants the biology background necessary to understand the complex scientific and medical issues that emerge in pastoral care. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss the theological and pastoral implications of recent advances in medical science while gaining practical knowledge that will enhance their ministries.
