The Logan Library is hosting a panel discussion with USU faculty on “Misconceptions of the Middle Ages”.  Friday, October 26, 4pm in the Jim Bridger room of the Logan City Library.  Click here for more information.

(Yeah – if only!) No, it’s “God and Smog“, a symposium on “the environment in relation to the perspectives and actions of four religious traditions: Hinduism, Buddhism, traditional Christianity and Mormonism.” The all-day conference will run from 9 to 5 on Wednesday on the 4th floor of the Business building. More details here.

This year is the 50th anniversary of one of the most significant and controversial encyclical letters of the last several hundred years – Humanae Vitae.  In that encyclical, Pope Paul VI reaffirmed Catholic teachings regarding marriage and family, most notably reaffirming the prohibition of any use of contraception.  The encyclical was, and remains, quite divisive within Catholic circles.  And given the large role the Catholic Church plays in social services and medical care, the encyclical has reverberated throughout the culture for the last 50 years.

The USU Catholic Newman Center is sponsoring a documentary film and discussion on the topic.  On Wednesday, Oct 3, from 6-8pm, we will watch “Unprotected: A Pope, the Pill, and the Perils of Sexual Chaos”.  Eccles Sciences Learning Center, room 053.  After the film, there will be a discussion time led by Dr Sherlock and Dr Kleiner.

All are welcome.
