2019 Los Alamos Faith And Science Forum Asks: Are You A Robot? Brain, Mind, Soul

LA Faith & Science Forum News:
This summer, the Los Alamos Faith and Science Forum asks: Are You a Robot? Brain, Mind, Soul.
If you use the internet at all, you may have been asked whether you are a robot. Many websites do this, trying to protect against spurious account creation. On one level, it’s an easy question to answer — no, you’re not a robot, you’re a flesh-and-blood human.
But on another level, it’s more difficult. Can we be sure our behavior is not programmed by our genetics, life experiences, instincts, and habits — to say nothing of our addictions and psychoses? Read More
Fr. Glenn: Disconnecting From The Data Stream
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
You know … you think I would have learned by now.
When I lived on the east coast, I just knew I’d have plenty of time to visit all the sights—Revolutionary War, Civil War, the Blue Ridge, Cape Cod, etc., … until I didn’t, and had to leave them all in the rear-view mirror. And then while in Los Alamos, I thought I’d have lots of time to visit all the wonderful panoramic vistas and trails … until called away unexpectedly. Oh, that accursed procrastination gene!
That came to mind this this weekend while driving between Las Vegas (NM) and Tucumcari, and the thought came to mind: “Just Read More

STATE News:Redeemer Lutheran Church Celebrates Anniversary Of Reformation Theology: Course Begins April 30
REDEEMER LUTHERAN News:
This month marks the 490th anniversary of Luther’s evangelical catechisms.
While teaching at the University of Wittenberg in Germany, Dr. Martin Luther became aware of the lack of knowledge that the average Christian had regarding the basics of the Christian Faith. Thus, he wrote two evangelical catechisms, which were based on sermons he preached in 1528.
A catechism is a simple handbook used for instruction. The first catechism appeared at the beginning of 1529. It was a concise summary of the Christian Faith to be used in the household. It is known affectionately Read More
Fr. Glenn: Inevitable Change
By Fr. Glenn Jones
Was scrolling through Facebook the other day and came across a post from one of my former parishioners announcing that yet another one of her young ones was learning to drive. Well, that darn ol’ teasing self came out and I couldn’t help but reply: “Okay, I’ll stay off the sidewalk.”
But, regardless of sarcasm, inside there truly WAS a tinge of surprise: “Is she old enough to drive … already?!”… for etched deep in cherished memory are the many times that “little one”—with brothers and sisters—virtually gang-tackled ol’ Fr. Glenn in group hug as they exited IHM on Sundays. Heavy sigh. Read More

Fr. Glenn: Notre Dame
By Fr. Glenn
A very holy and blessed Easter season to all! May God keep all of you near His heart in this sacred Christian season.
One click to the news last week was one of those “heart sinking into the stomach” moments as we witnessed flames leaping from the Paris cathedral of Notre Dame. As a historic center of Catholic Christian worship for the nation of France, Europe and the world, and as one of the jewels of Christian artistry, it was like watching history itself go up in flames.
But then, as calls resounded for the rebuilding of that great gem of the faith, there were inevitable—nonetheless beautiful—analogies Read More

On The Job In Los Alamos: Painting Icons At IHM
On the job in Los Alamos is artist Shelly Riebe demonstrating how to prepare boards for icon painting Tuesday in the parish hall at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church at 3700 Canyon Road. A Catholic icon is a representation of the image of such holy figures as the saints, Mary, Jesus and other religious figures, in the form of a painting. An interesting aspect of Catholic icons is that almost everything on the icon has a symbolic meaning. From the colors used to paint the Catholic icon to the way the subject is portrayed on the icon. For example certain iconic figures always have halos, such as Mary or Jesus, Read More
