Erick, I’m an MIT Chaplain working in partnership with the John Templeton Foundation to bring science, faith & philosophy three-hour dinner-discussions to life among MIT & Harvard faculty and local religious leaders, with our dinners taking place at the Harvard Faculty Club. I’ve twice hosted George Church with 120+ in attendance both times. Been doing so since 2005. Templeton helped me to export our “Roundtables on Science & Religion” to Brown, Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia & in Amherst. We could be expanding next to Chicago, Cornell, Duke, Penn & Princeton. A good many regular participants are agnostics or atheists. But who needs another feel-good story, right? Ha! Ask me about why my website is a year out of date – on purpose!
