REASON FOR GOD is for anyone (the religious, the spiritual, the skeptic, the seeker, atheists, Christians and people of any faith tradition). Please come and bring your questions and disagreements. Our values for the event are honesty, humility, respect, kindness, and listening well to one another.
Our hope is that each session will be a safe place to explore, ask questions, and journey together in our exploration of truth. You may have questions or objections that aren't represented in the topics below, but feel free to ask about them.
Each night we will gather to enjoy a meal and then hear from a great speaker and to analyze some of the big questions and objections that people have when it comes to belief in God and Christianity. Are there rational reasons to believe in God? Can we make sense of God? Is the Christian faith even desirable anymore? Come seek, learn, and add your voice to the discussion.
This series has been going on for the past12 years at MIT and it has been very well received and attended.
We hope you will join us for one or more sessions this year.
WHAT TO EXPECT EACH NIGHT
We start things off with dinner at 7pm. There is plenty of room there for social distancing if that is a concern for you. There will be a catered meal served from Cafe Luna. You will get your food and find a table to sit with others, or you can sit by yourself. Once most people have gone through the food line (usually at about 7:20), we will introduce the speaker for the evening. Following the speaker there will be a time for audience members to ask questions to the speaker. You will be able to ask a question in person or submit them anonymously. We aim to end the event around 8:30pm. You are welcome to continue discussions in the room afterwards and talk directly with the speaker.
Free Books - at each event, there will be free books available (1 per student) for those who want to go deeper into topics of Faith, Reason, God, the Bible, etc.
