A Public Talk: “Has technology made God and spirituality obsolete?”

People everywhere wonder about the relevance of

God and what their identity and purpose are.  International speaker, Mary

Alice Rose, says, “Prayer and my relationship with God play such an important

role in my happiness and well-being that I couldn’t imagine a scenario in which

I would find no need for them.”

“In this lecture I explore how my own relationship

with God has served as a foundation for addressing this question from a number

of angles,” says Rose.  “I will share several examples illustrating the

relevance of God and spirituality in a technological society, including

examples from my experience working on the Hubble Space Telescope project.”

Rose’s interest in science and technology led to a

20-year career in different areas of applied physical science.  Her work

ranged from a meteorologist for the National Severe Storms Laboratory to a

manager developing the ground system for the Hubble Space Telescope.  As

interesting as her career was, Rose found that she wanted more time to focus on

her most rewarding scientific endeavor: exploring her relationship with

God.  So, in 2002, she made the transition from manager, engineer, and

earth scientist to the full-time ministry as a Christian Science practitioner. 

She is now an authorized teacher of this Science and a member of the Christian

Science Board of Lectureship.  Rose travels from her home in Brookeville,

Maryland.
