Oxford Day 2

Today was an interesting day.  Richard Mouw, President of Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, CA gave a good lecture with the title, "Restless Hearts in a Search for Meaning."  At the Science and Theology Seminar that I am attending in the afternoon, psychologist, Paul Vitz, professor emeritus at New York University and Professor and Senior Scholar at the Institute for the Psychological Sciences, gave a presentation, "The Concept of the Person as a Resonating Laminate."  It was quite interesting  but it would take way too long to explain what he means by "resonating laminate," so I won't.  

The second presenter, Douglas Huffman, Professor of Biblical and Theological Theology at Calvin theological Seminary, gave a talk on what we can learn from the Bible about human personhood.  Again, I thought it was interesting.  

By the way, the food is excellent.  We eat breakfast and dinner at the Dining Hall at Kebler College and lunch is on our own.  I have a few more pictures to add flavor to my blog.  The Dining Hall has a large stained glass window at one end and this could have been the set for the Dining Hall in the Harry Potter movies.

I have included a picture of a stone walkway over a road that we pass on our way to St. Aldates Church where the morning worship and lectures are held.

I have included the inside of St. Aldates Church as well.
