Reason for God is an annual dinner series during IAP.  We host a guest speaker each night who will help us explore some of the big questions around the existence of God, Faith and Science, the Bible, Christianity, and Philosophy.  Come for a free catered meal and an engaing talk followed by Q and A. REASON FOR GOD is for any student (the skeptic, the spiritual but not religious, those who are seeking truth, agnostics, atheists, Christians, and people of any faith tradition).  Please come and bring your questions.  This is an okay place to disagree with what is said.  Our values for the event are hospitality, respect of varying viewpoints, intellectual honesty and humility, and kindness, and a warm meal!  Come learn, come discuss, and come eat!
