You are invited to join tonight’s weekly Wednesday night Spirituality And Activism zoom!
Agenda: An Atheist and a Theist Discuss the Intersection of Science and the Sacred
Tonight we’re watching an interview with theologian Dr. Philip Clayton, coauthor of Science and the Sacred with the late secular humanist C. S. Pearce. The book traces their journey to bridge science and spirituality, crafting a cosmic narrative that spans the Big Bang to human culture. The interview highlights their shared vision—one that is scientifically grounded, ethically transformative, and deeply meaningful.
The interview invites skeptical believers and believing skeptics alike to explore our shared humanity, and offers a model of the kind of dialogue that is essential for building a compassionate and flourishing world in the future.
C. S. Pearce has been writing about religious and ethical issues, public affairs, and natural science since 1992 as well as Op Eds in the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and other papers.
Philip Clayton is an American philosopher of religion and philosopher of science, and a well-known process theologian.. His work focuses on the intersection of science, ethics, and society. M

19:00 (7 pm) - Bring the News w/Susanna
Tonight: DEM U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin (MI) interviewed on Breaking Points with Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti about “Epstein, Israel and Zohran.” I’m not doing this specifically to trash the Senator, I think it’s a fascinating case study about upcoming DEM leadership, and the Senator is quite ambitious.
If you come across an article or bit of news that you feel the group would find interesting read it aloud (or ask someone to) and open the floor to discussion.

Guest stars are plentiful throughout, from Ellen Barkin and Adrien Brody to Luis Guzmán and Chloë Sevigny.
