The College of Physical and Mathematical Science and Religious Education at Brigham Young University will host the Hyrum B. Summerhays Lecture on Science and Religion Friday, March 31, at 7 p.m. in the Joseph Smith Building auditorium.

J. Ward Moody, a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and director of the physical science program, will speak on “Time in Scripture and Science: A Conciliatory Key?”

Admission is free and the public is welcome.
