Florida School System Takes on Intelligent Design Debate

The Florida Board of Education in Tallahassee will decide in February on a controversial topic involving mandatory teaching of detailed evolution concepts in science classes.  Sponsors claim the move is to better Florida students' scores in science areas on federal exams, but this debate is sure to stir up arguments for also promoting intelligent design should Florida move forward with more detailed teachings of evolution. 

Current polls show that less than half of Americans believe in Darwin's theory of evolution, yet arguments will go on over whether to merge intelligent design with evolution in a science classroom setting.  This will likely be a hot topic in the upcoming Presidential debate as well.

Global Christian Forum to be Held in Kenya - Largest Gathering of Christian's ever represented at a global meeting

This historic event on November 6-9 is called the Global Christian Forum and represents over 250 high level representatives from essentially all of the key Christian traditions from around the world. The meeting is being held in Nairobi , Kenya and the agenda will consist of key Christian issues from around the world.

The goals of the forum are to 'create a new, open space in which a broad range of Christian churches and interchurch organizations can gather in a multilateral setting to foster mutual respect and explore and address together common challenges.'

This event is also historic in that it brings together factions of the Christian faith that had previously not communicated prior to this conference. The team will also debate proposals and the outcome will be a 'Letter to the Churches' which is intended to summarize the results of this historic event.

A portion of the Christian churches and faiths represented at the meeting are: African Instituted, Anglican, Baptist, Evangelical, (Roman) Catholic, Disciples (Churches of Christ), Friends, Holiness, Lutheran, Mennonite, Methodist, Moravian, Old Catholic, Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, Pentecostal, Reformed, Salvation Army, Seventh-Day Adventist, United and Uniting Churches.
