CFI Focus Seminar
The Center for Inquiry is taking to the road with new Focus Seminars. Bringing top presenters to cities across America. Hosting intensive weekend seminars on some of the most urgent controversies facing
secular humanists, skeptics, and other critical inquirers. Each Focus Seminar has a different theme. A different roster of experts. Each occurs at a premium hotel or conference facility whose amenities make it
a destination in itself. Each features a keynote lecture by a renowned authority in the field. Attend one …or two … or all three Focus Seminars. Special multi-seminar discounts available.
This Could Be the Start of Something Big …
Across the country, debates rage: How separate should church and state be? Is religion based on anything concrete – is there even a God? What voice should religious conservatives have in deciding what sorts of biomedicine – including the results of stem cell research – are available to all? These questions only scratch the surface of the issues secular humanists, skeptics, and other critical inquirers care about … issues that take center stage in America’s ongoing culture wars. Introducing new Focus Seminars from the Center for Inquiry. High-intensity weekend events that bring leading experts to cities across America. In the inviting surroundings of premium hotel conference facilities, you and other attendees will dig deep into a single subject. You’ll rub shoulders with top experts and staff specialists from the Center for Inquiry, the Council for Secular Humanism, and the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (formerly known as CSICOP). Each seminar features a banquet with keynote
address by a leading expert on the Seminar’s topic. If you like, attend a second Focus Seminar. And a third. There’s always a different topic … a different expert panel. You’ll also receive an executive briefing on the latest plans and priorities at the Center for Inquiry. Join us for one, two, or all three of these seminars – the first in a projected series. And keep watching your mailbox: a future Focus Seminar may come to your town!
Does God Exist?
A Scientific Examination of Religion
Colorado Springs hosts the headquarters of more Religious Right organizations than any other city in America, large or small. Where better to convene a seminar on the biggest of all questions: Does God Exist? Your guides to the debate will include R. Joseph Hoffmann, director of the Committee for the Scientific Examination of Religion and chair of The Jesus Project, a new inquiry into whether the historical Jesus existed; Eddie Tabash, the quick-witted attorney-activist who has debated God’s existence against the foremost debaters of the Christian world; Tom Flynn, editor of the new standard reference work on unbelief; and others. Not to be missed!
