Near the end of a seminar on science and theology, Sr. Damien Marie Savino, a Franciscan Sister of the Eucharist, was sautéing vegetables in a large saucepan as students in the seminar prepped a fish entrée and blackberry cobbler dessert. The meal they were about to serve at the Duke Catholic Center’s Falcone-Arena House would be the culmination of a week of discussion, touring, and hands-on work delving into the relationship between faith and science. The dinner put into action principles from the seminar, using organic vegetables the group harvested from the Duke Campus Farm and challenging the students—young professionals and graduate students from four countries and disciplines ranging from material sciences and statistics to bioethics and theology—to collaborate across their various cultural backgrounds.
