Global Warming
Our speaker was Stan Van Velsor, Ph.D., Global Warming Program
Coordinator for the Loma Prieta Chapter of the Sierra Club.
He spoke about the causes of Global Warming, the effects and
implications for the future, and ways in which we can make a
positive difference.

Neurotoxic Threats to Child Development
Our speaker was Brian Linde, MD, husband of Jodi Ruland, a
former member of this church. Brian’s subject was “In
Harms Way: Neurotoxic Threat to Child Development-” Brian
talked with us about environmental hazards that are harming
our children – looking at such toxics as lead, mercury,
pcbs and brominated flame retardants (found in our air, food,
water) and their long-term impact on the unborn child- and also
what we can do about them. Brian is on the staff of John Muir
Hospital in Walnut Creek.

Creeds and Confessions
On January 18th 2004, Derrick Kikuchi began a series of studies
on Creeds and Confessions where he led us through "The
Search for Intelligent Life In the Presbyterian Church,"
a journey through our denomination's history of splits, reunifications,
creeds and confessions. We've taken the audio from that session
and the PowerPoint slides and created an online voice and slide
show.

and hear that slide show.

New American Century and the President's National Security Strategy
document.
