Evolution Sunday

On this Sunday which is Charles Darwin’s birthday, we welcome Darwin back to church. We recognize the often adversarial relationship between tradition and innovation and we celebrate the courage of the innovators and invoke that spirit in our present time. We honor the curious, evidence-based, democratic, open, collaborative spirit of science. We explore how the Bible has shifted from being a book that told the story of the universe to a book that is but one story among many of how one group of human beings saw its world. We leave open-ended the question, “What is the Bible’s use for us?” and “How do we read it?” We will also celebrate the PCUSA’s vote to affirm The Clergy Letter Project. www.theclergyletterproject.org
