A Buddhist and Christian Dialogue on Money, Selfishness, and Greed

What does it mean to pursue wealth well? In a world that often equates success with financial achievement, how do we

distinguish healthy ambition from greed? Together we’ll explore the moral questions surrounding money, generosity, and the

good life. We’ll also bring these questions closer to home: how should our values shape the careers we pursue, the ambitions we

cultivate, and the people we hope to become? Join us for a moderated discussion and student Q&R.

Do faith and science have to be in tension as different ways of knowing reality? Does God explain anything when it comes to human origins? Can science lead to answers about meaning and purpose?

Refreshments will be served for the first 120 people who RSVP at the QR code to the right!

A Discussion on Belief, Doubt, and Coping with Existence

As students, we rarely talk about religion. It can feel outdated, close-minded, or just irrelevant. Yet for thousands of years, humans have been a religious species looking beyond ourselves in search of meaning. Should religion still matter today? And is it simply a coping story, or could it point to something real? Our speakers with wrestle with belief, doubt, and how their Christian and agnostic worldviews help them find meaning. This will be a moderated discussion followed by student Q&R time.
