DINNER 'N DIALOGUE
DINNER N' DIALOGUE
When? Saturday Evening, March 27th, 2010 from 6 to 8 PM
Where? CSF Center 1337 Cleveland Ave N, St. Paul, MN 55108
What? We will have a dinner talk on Human Pupose by Professor Ken Phillips, who taught in Portugal with his wife for 18 years.
Who? Professor to Internationals.
Why? How you answer this question is based on the answer to the question of human origin, where do we come from? Some say that you are a product of random chance and long years of natural selection. If that is true, what does that say about your personal value, the meaning of your life today, and about your expectations for the future? Others believe that we are the creation of an all-powerful, loving God. Would that make any difference in the way we view ourselves, others, and our world?
Email Dennis or Mary Ann if you have questions: heydennis@csf.net, heymaryann@csf.net
