THE CALL

The French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem has been an important research institute for more than a century. While modern photography was still developing, this series of exceptional photographs kept track of that rapid urbanization which is transforming biblical landscapes. With these photographs an attempt is made to restore the purity and poetry of the holy places. This exhibition invites us to enter in the Bible through earth and stones, after Chateaubriand, Pierre Loti and many pilgrims.

ASSEMBLING FAITH AND SCIENCE

May 28^th, 2013 - 7:30pm

Michael J. Dodds, OP. Lecturer in Philosophy and Theology at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA.

Assembling Faith and Science: an examination of the dynamics relationship between faith and science in our world today. Father Michael J. Dodds will lead us through the various ways in which the relationship between faith and science can be characterized. He cites the works of notable Church theologians and the ways in which they have come to understand the relationship of faith and science, and calls us to examine how we as Catholics view this relationship at work in our own lives.

 Fr. Michael J. Dodds, O.P. teaches philosophy and theology at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. He entered the Dominicans in 1970 and, after ordination in 1977, taught for three years at St. Mary's College, Moraga. He received his doctorate in theology from the University of Friboug, Switzerland, in 1985, and began teaching at the Dominican School. He has served as academic dean of the school, and as student master, regent of studies, and vicar provincial of the Western Dominican Province. His publications include The Unchanging God of Love: Thomas Aquinas and Contemporary Theology on Divine Immutability, and Unlocking Divine Action: Contemporary Science and Thomas Aquinas, both published by The Catholic University of America Press.
