The lectures explore the intersection of Catholicism and culture. They engage the intellectual and religious communities of the Seattle area, as well as Seattle University faculty, staff, and students. The first lecture series examined the relation of religion and science, particularly the contemporary challenges of an evolving universe to the understanding of God and God’s relationship to the natural world. Reflecting on the Inaugural Year, 2010-2011
