Theological Table Talk: Once again the Society
will begin its semi-annual meeting with a critical, informal,
and early afternoon discussion on one of the most important
cultural and theological issues of the day–the relationship
of science and theology. If there is nothing in the world
that cannot be approached scientifically, and if nothing
falls outside the concerns of theology, how can representatives
of the two camps afford to continue to communicate with
each other so badly? How can there continue to be such open
hostility, claims to dominance (and even exclusivity) from
both sides of the discussion? How shall scientists and theologians
proceed? Are there any common terms, and who sets them?
Can anything good come of a dialogue between theologians
and scientists–or just rancor, on the one hand, or
capitulation, on the other? We are grateful for our colleagues
who will open this crucial colloquy.

Registration and Dinner
Reservations: Every fall and spring meeting our colleagues
of the host institutions will find their workload greatly
eased if we register for the meeting and make reservations
for the dinner. Registration and reservations could not
be simpler. Call, write, or email Paul Parker through
your medium of choice and declare your intentions: office
phone (630) 617-3559; paulp@elmhurst.edu; or Department
of Theology and Religion, Elmhurst College, 190 Prospect
Ave., Elmhurst, IL 60126. Dinner is $10.00. Because ATS
meetings are supported by the host institution, registration
is without charge for which we are deeply appreciative.
Dues: Annual membership
dues (to cover the costs of printing, mail, and other
incidentals) are $15 for members and $10 for associate
members to be remitted to the Treasurer, Don Alexander,
each year at the fall meeting. Attention to this is appreciated.
Also, the Society’s membership role remains strong
only as we invite our eligible colleagues to join us and
sponsor them for membership. Advocacy for the Society
is important.
