Dr. Douglas Fry--Studies Shed Light on Peacebuilding

Dr. Fry--American Expert on Anthropology and on Peace/conflict--now teaching in Finland and doing research for Arizona University--gave an outstanding presentation for the Science and Religion Group this past Saturday at WTU.

He was most gracious and updated us on data from around the world.
I will no longer believe that conflict is inevitable--he has too much data on peaceable groups around the world.

The questioning was intense and interesting in itself--it went on for quite some time and the dialogue continued over lunch.

I think that it is getting to be time to take some of this data and see how it might give insight into ecumenical reconciliation. Perhaps I can get to it this summer.

Peace,
John
