Did socialists
assume that
the progress science has made in explaining
our world would push out religious beliefs? Instead the 21st century
has seen religion become even more of a prominent issue.Whether it is
the role of Islam in Britain, sectarian conflicts in the Middle East,
or the ongoing battle between creationism and evolutionary
theory,religion is always in the news. |

Our weekend of talks
and
discussion will explore socialist views on the impact of religion in
society. How does faith
relate to other aspects of capitalism,such as laws
and relations between countries?How does a religious
outlook differ from a socialst or humanist
one? Can you be a socialist and have religious beliefs? As always
the venue for Summer School is Fircroft College, which
offers excellent facilities within easy reach of Birmingham city
centre.
Thou
shalt
have an interesting and enjoyable weekend.
