The Dartmouth Apologia, the College's journal for Christian thought founded five years ago, hosted a lecture on Tuesday afternoon regarding medical decision-making and the personal aspects of health care titled "Looking for Certainty in All the Wrong Places: Faith and Reason in Medical Decision Making." At the event, Director of the Dartmouth Center for Health Care Delivery Service Al Mulley '70 recounted his experiences with reason and religion in the medical world.
The Apologia aims to examine the intersection of faith and reason in order to demonstrate that religion and faith are "100 percent compatible with the modern academy," current editor-in-chief Brendan Woods '13 said.
The journal was founded by Andrew Schuman '10 and has since become a wide-reaching organization with a biannual journal, weekly blog and influence on college campuses nationwide.
"When I came to campus as a freshman, I saw pretty quickly that there was a real interest to have a space on campus where vibrant intellectual life could grow together with faith," Schuman said.
Schuman worked with several friends to start the publication, releasing the first edition in spring 2007.
Within a few years, The Apologia became an established campus presence and eventually spread to other institutions.
"When he founded Apologia, Andrew really started a movement across college campuses, in the Ivy League and across the country," Woods said.
