Cambridge Day 4

Today was the last full day of keynote addresses and the symposium presentations and it is a good thing because my brain is on overload. Philosopher and theologian, Nancy Murphy from Fuller Seminary gave a pretty heavy duty talk entitled, "Science, Souls, and Society: Why Christians Should be Nonreductive Physicalists," and in the symposium Malcolm Jeeves, a neuropsychologist and former president of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, gave a talk with the title, "The Human Quest: Some Recent Thoughts." The last symposium hour was a panel of many of the presenters in which we could ask questions.

I felt privileged to be in the presence of such brilliant people. Here is a picture of the panelists:
R. J. Berry, Douglas Huffman, John Polkinghorne, Nancy Murphy, Paul Vitz, and Malcolm Jeeves.

I feel as though I need months just to process the things that I have learned.

Equally important, though are the conversations that I have had with other attendees. The conversations that happen at other times have been helpful in addition to making some new friends.

On another note, I have included a picture of one of the alleys that I take to get from Clare College where I am staying to Great St. Mary's where the keynote addresses are held.
