Oxford Day 3

Wow. Today was a rich feast! We started off with devotions by John Lennox, Reader in Mathematics, Oxford University and Fellow in Mathematics and Philosophy of Science, Green College, Oxford. He recently was in a debate with Richard Dawkins (author of The God Delusion) also of Oxford. Francis Collins, Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute among other titles, and author of The Language of God, gave one of the keynote addresses in the morning and then gave another presentation at my Science and Theology Symposium. He is articulate, funny, and an excellent presenter. The thoughts shared in the symposium were stimulating. The Science and Theology symposium are held at Pembroke College, right next door to Alsdate Church where we meet for the morning sessions. It is a smaller college than Keble College but the grounds are just as lovely.
I have posted two pictures of one of the quads in Pembroke College hoping that you can make out the beautiful flowers in the flower boxes and the manicured lawn.



After dinner we were treated to a two hour concert by the City of Oxford Orchestra at the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin. They played pieces from Mozart, Handel, Gluck, John Rutter and a few other composers. It was excellent.
