Our next talk takes place on Wednesday 3rd December at St Joseph's Church in Chalfont St Peter (SL9 8RY). The topic is 'Creation and Evolution: In Conflict or Synergy?' (Genesis 1 & 2) and the speaker is Dr Levi Maria Fernandez.
Are the theories of the Big Bang and of Evolution compatible with the story of Creation in Genesis? Is Science at odds with Christianity? This talk will also explore the history of science through the Dark Ages and the Age of Enlightenment.
I have been a Biology teacher for 30 years, the last 13 of which have been at Wycombe Abbey, and independent boarding school for girls. I studied Biology at King’s College London and completed a PhD in Molecular Biology at what was then called Queen Mary and Westfield College of the University of London. I was born in the Philippines and studied in the Philippine Science High School, in an environment where the love of science and of faith in God comfortably went hand in hand.

A series of monthly talks on the Holy Scriptures, looking at their relevance to us in our lives today. An initiative by the South Bucks Pastoral Area under the guidance of Fr Jerome Ituah OCD.
The aim of our sessions is to broaden our knowledge of and to discern the message the Scriptures hold for each of us and their relevance in our daily lives today. Each talk will “stand alone” and will be given by an invited guest speaker. We hope the sessions will offer guidance on reading the Scriptures and a prayerful and reflective time together.
There is no charge for the talks, but donations towards costs will be gratefully accepted. You can make a contribution by cash (donation basket in the church porch), cheque made payable to "Saint Teresa’s Beaconsfield" with "Emmaus Donation" on the reverse, or by bank transfer per details below.
