    Pete Byrne has a fascinating profile - having been raised as a Christian, he studied Neuroscience as an undergraduate before completing a Masters in Philosophy a few years later (while working as a full-time High School Science teacher). In this interview I got the opportunity to explore his perspective on the relationship between Science and Religion. While the interview is slightly longer than the usual 15 minute format I think it is worth listening in - Pete has spent considerable time reflecting on this topic and it was/is refreshing to travel with him.

    I have a slight confession: for this episode I was in the middle of preparing a unit on Peace and Conflict for some year 7 students so I combined efforts. Thankyou to Aisling Griffin from Pax Christi who gave me an opportunity to explore what Pacifism means in relation to Nuclear and Drone Weaponry. Personally I was very challenged to reflect on how our culture is saturated in violence - which perversely makes peaceful efforts seem weirdly out of place.
