Re: [asa] Templeton Prize Laureate Arthur Peacocke Dies at 81

A man I always appreciated. He always twigged me for my conservative
beliefs. We had something in common. In the late 50s when Arthur became
interested in science and religion he went to St Deiniols library in
Hawarden near Chester to see the warden Grenville Yarnold who before
ordination in the early 40s was senior physics lecturer at Nottingham
for
advice. He was my uncle as he married my mother's sister. As a result
even
though my father had no belief I never thought there was a problem
between
religion and science.
