Ideas Roundtable

A "Round Table" discussion is a form of academic discussion wherein participants discuss and debate a particular topic.  Each person is given equal opportunity to speak based on an equal right to speak, harking back to the legendary King Arthur's round table knights.   The main objective of our Round Table today is to provide everyone with a platform to discuss:

"Current thinking on the relationship between Religion and Science in the modern world."

Our Round Table aims specifically to:

• Increase our awareness of the background information we rely upon to make decisions on the topic.

• Highlight current thinking on the relationship between Religion and Science such that it can be considered more fully in everyone's own life.

• Bring together people whose views on the topic may be deeply rooted. 
• Improve everyone's understanding of how other people reach their own beliefs.
• Strengthen classroom partnerships.
