I am doing research around the intersection of science and theology and how communities may support or inhibit that conversation. I would love to talk to you about your experience. Here are the questions I am exploring.
- Community: With what communities do you identify and why? Which ones solicit your time and attention and why do you choose to engage? What do you get from it? [Do you differentiate organizations of which you are a member, and communities of which you are a part?]
- Spirituality: Do you have a sense of the spiritual, or of the larger questions about the purpose of your life, or the degree to which those powers outside your control have any interest in your wellbeing? Do you have a preferred religious language with which to speak about your spirituality?
- Spiritual practices: How do you connect to your spirituality and deepen your relationship to it? Are there practices you use? Does this awareness happen when you are alone, or is it mediated and supported for you by your participation in community?
- Science and Spirituality: You are likely to be of a community that speaks the language of science. Are science and spirituality domains of your life that are totally separate or do they mutually meet? How do you relate them or allow them to inform each other?
