Three Ways Of Searching

Unitarian Society of Northampton and Florence

David A. Mix Barrington

22 August 2004

These are materials for the lay-led service I presented on 22 August 2004. My topic was the different approaches of mathematicians (who search for beauty), scientists (who search for truth), and engineers (who search for beauty), and how these can be applied to religious questions.

• The order of meeting,
• The meditation, a poem by Mary Oliver,
• The readings, from the Association for Computing Machinery, G. H. Hardy, Carolyn Porco, quackwatch.org, and Tim Berners-Lee,
• My sermon, and
• The closing words from Hardy, Porco, and Berners-Lee.
