Peter Connolly preaching When he signed on as the ship's naturalist on HMS Beagle in 1831, Charles Darwin considered himself a Biblical literalist and a scripture-based moralist; his study of the natural world profoundly challenged those notions.  What can we learn from Darwin's spiritual journey?  The Chalice Choir will be singing.

They explore Humanist history, beliefs, approach to life, social justice, community, and religious education."
