These\n internet pages owe their origin to a series of talks and discussions on\n the Sunday Scripture readings at Mass and the opportunity this presents\n for discussing some current topics relating to religion and Christian \nlife. The series was arranged for Monday nights, from 7pm to 9pm, at \nScoil Mhuire, Ennistymon, as follows: October 10th (for 29th Sunday of \nthe Year), 24th October (31st Sunday), November 14th (Christ the King), \nNovember 28th (2nd Sunday of Advent), December 5th (3rd Sunday of \nAdvent), December 19th (Christmas Day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The earlier talks give treat of some introductory questions on the \nplace of Scripture in Christian living. For the Scripture readings \nrelevant information is given on the original setting, followed by \nreflections on application to present day Christian life. The second \ntalk presents an occasion to discuss some question of importance being \ncurrently discussed, for instance modern atheism, secularism, questions \nrelated to evolution such as creation, cosmology, Darwin, Dawkins, \ngenesis chapter 1 and 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the first meeting it became clear to the speaker that something\n more enduring that a mere encounter was indicated, resulting in this \npresent internet sit, with bibliographies, internet links to relevant \nsites and such like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
