Joining the dots between the spiritual and the material

In this talk, Revd Don MacGregor will discuss ways in which science and spirit are basically converging around the issue of interconnectedness and oneness. A new story is emerging – a story of the acceptance that science and spirituality are not opposing world views, but are the two sides of the same coin. It stems from the increasingly adopted scientific view that consciousness is the starting point of all that is - and the spiritually-minded call that consciousness God. The talk will also be illustrated.
The world is rapidly changing. How do we move Christianity into the 21st century when so much of its doctrine is still heavily influenced by the medieval mentality? Revd Don MacGregor will draw upon insights from emerging scientific perspectives together with wisdom from the world’s spiritual traditions to reach towards a re-imagining of God and the Christ that is meaningful and helpful for today. Some have said ‘it is now rational to be spiritual’ and Don hopes to put some meat on the bones of that tantalising statement by re-examining some central Christian teachings in the light of the universe as we understand it this century.
Revd Don MacGregor BSc, PGCE, MA is the author of “Blue Sky God: the Evolution of Science and Christianity” and “The Wisdom Series” of books. He has now retired as a vicar and lives in St Davids, Pembrokeshire, West Wales. He has had a career with a number of twists and turns. After gaining his BSc in Ergonomics at Loughborough University, he initially worked as a statistician in the National Health Service.
