For many Christians the evolution/creation conversation is an issue that is peripheral to their faith to others it is the cornerstone of their beliefs. This episode presents four different perspectives on Evolution from four articulate, passionate and knowledgeable professionals, including Dr Graeme Finlay from Auckland University, and Dr Don Batten from Creation Ministries. This is a heated discussion, in many ways, and there are vast differences of opinion between the contributors. If you don't hold a firm position on the Evolution vs Creation debate, you will do once you've seen this. If you already have your mind made up, you'll find plenty of food for thought here, which ever side you sit on. More Info

A must-see for anyone interested in marriage, the church's role in marriage, and what an evolving marriage tradition could look like in Christian communities in the future. More Info
