Services in honor of Charles Darwin, traditionally given as part of global celebration of Darwin Day near February 12 as part of the Clergy Letter Project:
- The Devil's Chaplain - a traditional sermon / service tracing Darwin's personal theological journey from conventional Anglicanism to agnosticism.
- Born on February 12, 1809 - Two men were born this day who went on to have tremendous impact on our views of the worth and dignity of every human being. This message traces the parallels between the lives and beliefs of Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln.
- A Visit With Mr. Darwin - The naturalist and author Charles Darwin comes to visit your pulpit and relate a bit of his story, religious views, and thoughts on slavery.
- How Does an Atheist Come to Church or more to the point, why should one behave ethically without heaven or hell?
- Why All the Fuss About Atheists? is an attempt to understand the vehement reaction some religious authors have to the "New Atheists" and the rise in secularity. Can it be Original Sin?
- Doubt is My Foundation explores the scientist's reliance on doubt and skepticism as key to discovery, while also drawing a crucial distinction between healthy doubt and toxic cynicism.
- Doubt Was Our Foundation takes the themes of the message above and relates them to the Founders of our country and the creation of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Updated from a message first given in Kent on July 4, 2010.
