This year's Walton Lecture on Science and Religion is being given by Dr Mirjam Schilling on the title "Why are there Viruses in God's Creation?". It will be livestreamed on the Christians in Science youtube channel at 8pm (Irish Standard Time) on Thursday 17th November 2022. The youtube link for the livestream can be found here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i87p87meroY
Lecture Abstract: For the past two years, the coronavirus pandemic not only disrupted most of our normal activities but also led to an enormous amount of suffering. From experience, we also know the vast amount of suffering other viruses can cause. It is therefore tempting to think of viruses as malicious entities. As Christians, we might further wonder whether the existence of viruses was originally intended by God or what this tells us about his character? However, a proper understanding of the biology of viruses shows that the topic is more complicated and that there is much to be discovered about viruses and many of the bigger questions in life.
The Walton Lectures are an annual lecture series that is organised by Christians in Science Ireland. The lecture content is focused on an area of current interest within the science and faith conversation which is suitable for an audience of academics and informed lay persons.

A prayer
Holy God, source and creator of all things, eternal love, we give thanks to you:
Father, who loves us infinitely,
Son who reveals to us unconditional love, Holy Spirit who empowers us with divine love, gather us together in your love,
that we may grow in visible communion
and so witness to unity in the world.
Where your people are broken, may love mend.
When hatred shouts in the world, let love bring peace with justice. As creation groans, may redemption come to all the earth.
Come with your divine love, and enter our hearts.
Move your church, and move the world
to reconciliation and unity. Amen.

Timeline photosPray with us:
Lord of humility,
you revealed yourself as the Most High
when you stooped to become the most low.
Thank you that your servant Elizabeth
not only knew this truth
but also lived it out,
in her calling as our Queen.
She knew that ‘love is not self-seeking,
does not boast, and is not proud’,
but that it always takes the last place,
which is, in your sight, the first.
Thank you for the inspiration of a life
that sought to model itself on her Saviour,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

Lord of compassion,
your love is eternal
and your mercy inexhaustible.
Thank you that your servant Elizabeth
was as kind and as welcoming
toward everyone she met,
as she was toward the great and the good.
Hers was the love that ‘always protects,
always trusts, always hopes and always perseveres’.
Here she was known in part,
but now she is fully known,
and sees you, Lord Jesus, face-to-face
which is the end of all our loving.
Amen
