Collegiate Peaks Forum Series
Buena Vista, Colorado

The Collegiate Peaks Forum Series began in 2003, bringing together local educators, theologians, lawyers, doctors, accountants, homemakers, scientists, consultants, students, and professionals to explore the challenging questions raised by the interrelationship of philosophy, religion, and science, and their ethical implications. The Forum Series offers the community thought-provoking lectures and discussions on contemporary and alternative viewpoints from a variety of theological perspectives in subjects including ecology/environment, purpose and personal change, biochemical processes, technology, the biology of belief, genetics, and population ethics. Outreach within Buena Vista and surrounding population centers focuses on increasing the long-term benefit of activities to the area through special invitations to individuals of interest to each lecture. Advertising the public series targets area educators, students, members of the general public, and policy makers into the conversations. Future plans include the possibility of developing a program within the local Colorado Mountain College, which is now partnering with the Forum Series in the creation of programs. Matching funds are provided through individual donations and pledges of the members of the Collegiate Peaks Forum Series.
