"Was Jesus really married to Mary Magdalene? Did the early Church authorities suppress the real truth about Jesus? Is the New Testament a reliable guide to early Christian beliefs and practices? These and many other questions are raised by Dan Brown in his best selling novel, ‘The Da Vinci Code.’ Although presented as a work of fiction, Brown strongly suggests that his story is based on events that imply a fraudulent nature to Christianity. This lecture will examine some of Brown’s points and offer responses."

"This Powerpoint slideshow will focus on aspects of creation and everyday life that invite us to appreciate how extra-ordinary the ordinary really is. Presented using a combination of music, movie clips and images, the format will be meditative, with times for sharing responses to some of the themes and images."
