Conducted weeklong conference titled Spiritual Experience: A Scientific Philosophical and Theological Retreat In recent decades we have seen an increase in scientific philosophical and theological research focused on the processes involved in spiritual transformation. This has generated a more comprehensive science-based understanding including physical psychological and substance-induced approaches that promote intentional opening to spiritual experience. There is evidence that we have a spiritual core central and innermost biologically wired into us that is normally outside of awareness that there are ways to open and engage that core and that when people open to that awareness they often describe the experience as mystical or numinous. 0 38655 Sponsored monthly series of webinars covering a wide range of topics related to the intersection of science and religion. 200 to 300 viewers per month with previous sessions available for streaming from the IRAS website. 0 940 Coincident with our annual conference we provided an educational youth program known as Archipelagos, for children of conference attendees from two years old through high school. 0 8119 47714 Carolyn J Love President 5 0 0 0 Jane Bengston Vice Chair to the Council 5 0 0 0 Lisa Solmon VP Summer Conferences 5 0 0 0 Maynard Moore VP Administration 5 0 0 0 Constance Bertka VP Organizational Relations 4 0 0 0 Marilyn Brien VP Membership Engagement 3 0 0 0 Dan Solomon Secretary 4 0 0 0 David Klotz Treasurer 5 0 0 0 Mladen Turk Council 2 0 0 0 Kim Brien Council 2 0 0 0 Margery Dixon Council 2 0 0 0 Arthur Peterson Council 2 0 0 0 Emily Austin Council 2 0 0 0 Brendon Ambrosino Council 2 0 0 0 Steven Gaudet Council 2 0 0 0 Marion Griswold Council 2 0 0 0 Dolly Ferver Council 2 0 0 0 Calvin Chatlos Council 2 0 0 0 Andrew Davis Council 2 0 0 0 Rodney Dixon Council 2 0 0 0 Jason Keune Council 2 0 0 0 J D Stillwater Council 2 0 0 0 Jennifer Whitten VP Diversity and Intergenerational Integration 5 0 0 0 Stephen Ragsdale Council 2 0 0 0 false false false false false 0 false false false false McGhee OrmeJohnson 719 Glade Aster Drive Durham NC 27704 6178341653 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 37963 18457 21531 44116 34799 156866 17225 17525 21700 19333 25275 101058 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 55188 35982 43231 63449 60074 257924 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 257924 9869 5418 6239 13865 1244 36635 0 0 0 0 0 0 9869 5418 6239 13865 1244 36635 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 65057 41400 49470 77314 61318 294559 0.8756 0.8499 0.1244 0.1501 X Part I, line 8 | Other Revenues:, Amount:| Assets released from restricted funds, $7760| Part I, line 10 - Cash | Description:, Amount:, Grantee Type:, Grantee Name:, Grantee Address:, Activity Type:, Class of Activity Description:, RelationShipDescription:|Shapley-Booth Fellowship, $2585, -, -, -, -, -, - | Sturges Music Fellowship, $1265, -, -, -, -, -, - | Memorial Scholarship, $1265, -, -, -, -, -, - | Conference grant awards, $1745, -, -, -, -, -, - | Griswold Senior Fellowship, $900, -, -, -, -, -, - | Part I, line 16 | Other Expenses:, Amount:| Administrative, $4544| Conference, $38655| Youth Program, $8119| Webinar, $940| Fees and Service Charges, $418|
