Please join us on March 8 at 1 pm EST as Ursula Goodenough tells us “Everybody’s Story,” which is central to the just released second edition of her book: The Sacred Depths of Nature: How Life Has Emerged and Evolved.
Her presentation and book:
- provide accurate, accessible, and poetic accounts of the emergence and evolution of life,
- lift up the synergies between a religious naturalist orientation and traditional and indigenous religions,
- suggest ways to explore these accounts for their religious potential along interpretive, spiritual, and moral/ethical axes,
- and explore ecomorality and introduce a deeper emphasis on human evolution and the environment.
The event is free to all and available through Airmeet, which is a little different from Zoom.
“Ursula Goodenough argues passionately, wisely and even lyrically for a new, modern, scientifically-informed world view that can tell us both about the Universe we inhabit and the moral rules we need to inhabit it well. This is a wonderful account of the history of life by a great biologist. It invites us to find in modern science the profound sense of wonder and belonging, and the deep ethical sense present in all the world’s religious traditions.”
