Minister Says No Conflict Between Evolution and Christian Faith
An article by Scott Rothschild of the Lawrence Journal-World reports:
"There is no conflict between evolution and the Christian faith," said the Rev. Peter Luckey, the senior pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church. Luckey was preaching to the choir during a five-hour forum that featured scientists, teachers and politicians who argued in favor of teaching students evolution because it is the foundation of science, knowledge of which will be needed to compete for jobs in the growing bioscience industry. About 75 people attended the forum at Plymouth, which was founded in 1854 and was the first established church in the Kansas Territory.
