Town Hall Meeting: A Dialogue On Spirituality and the Atmospheric Sciences

Tuesday, 8 January 2013: 12:15 PM-1:15 PM
Room 11AB (Austin Convention Center)
Host: Town Hall Meetings

This is an open forum for the AMS membership to learn about and discuss the potential for a dialogue between people of science and people of spirituality and faith. It is also the opportunity for members of AMS to express how they may personally see the roles of science and faith in their own lives. In October 2011, the United Nations Subcommittee on Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns held a forum to discuss the future role of spirituality to promote environment and ecological concerns. People of science were invited to help educate religious communities and organizations about the future of the planet. Eco-ministry is now are growing field in spiritual organizations. What will be the role of AMS in this dialogue? How can AMS help educate people of faith about the state of the environment? How do we feel about our individual spirituality when we come to AMS meetings? The facilitator for this discussion is Tim Miner OUnI. Tim is a retired Colonel, USAFR, who served as the Senior Reserve Officer in the USAF Weather Program and is currently on the AMS ARAM Committee. He is also currently a Captain for American Airlines on the Boeing 737 aircraft, and he is ordained clergy serving as a volunteer chaplain.
