Let’s kick of the semester SAIU style with our first official Sunday Funday. We will be meeting in the Dogwood Room of the IMU at 8pm on Sunday 1/17.

We will be having our callout meeting this coming Wednesday so instead of diving right into heady topics, let’s relax and catch up with all of our secular friends that we’ve missed since last semester!

Tonight we will be watching “Creation” in Woodburn 003 at 8pm. Please note the room AND the time change.

According to IMDB, the plot is: English naturalist Charles Darwin struggles to find a balance between his revolutionary theories on evolution and the relationship with religious wife, whose faith contradicts his work.

The main reason this movie was chosen is due to the controversy surrounding it. As of September 2009, this movie had failed to find a US distributor because the theory of evolution is too controversial for American audiences, according to its producer. Read a Telegraph article about it here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/6173399/Charles-Darwin-film-too-controversial-for-religious-America.html

SAIU recently acquired a copy of this film so now we can “teach the controversy.”

Come join us!

Come join us by the IMU Starbucks to help plan out exactly how this semester is going to run. SAIU will no longer (mainly) be run by the decisions of one person and we need your input!
