THURSDAY NIGHT FAITH & FELLOWSHIP - every Thursday, 7:30 at Newman:

10/15 – Join fellow Yaggies and UC Berkeley undergraduates in a
discussion with Sociology Professor Michael Hout on the theme of
University Life – specifically, its commitment to the rational, the
sciences and the Life of Faith. We will look at whether these elements
relate to one another, or alternatively, whether the university/post-
modernity decree that they are separate, hermetically sealed worlds.

10/22 – Discussion on Culture & Religion – Come congratulate Father
Brett on successfully completing his dissertation, which focuses on
the area cultural diversity within religious communities. We will
discuss the relationship between cultural & religion, and also
consider how Father Brett’s findings can be applied to Interfaith and
Ecumenical couples and dating.

10/29 – California Academy of Science Nightlife – Join Yaggies as we
venture into the City for Nightlife at the California Academy of
Sciences in Golden Gate Park. All of the regular exhibits at this
very impressive museum will be open, along with a DJ, drinks and food
(both for purchase). 21+ only. http://www.calacademy.org/events/nightlife.
