Seeking common ground: Science for religious audiences

How much are you prepared to change your message to meet the needs of an audience? In this reverse session, speakers describe problems of delivering astronomy shows to ultra-orthodox Jewish communities, translating a secular exhibition devised in Northern Europe to a Catholic, Eastern European country, and setting up a science centre in a place with a strong fundamentalist Muslim community. Is it possible to pass on a science message to audiences with firm religious beliefs? This session will be chaired by Maya Halevy, who is no stranger to the conflicting demands of different faiths. The panelists will speak briefly but are unanimous in their belief that there is more to be gained from exploring common ground than from emphasizing differences.
