“Our freedoms can
only
be maintained by the advancement of technologies that serve mankind—
not
advancing technology puts Freedom at Risk and
our freedom is
threatened because we
don't take the time to
participate in it” GJD |
A little
known group of people have been meeting along with the
American Nuclear Society meetings since 1976
CNF the Christian Nuclear Fellowship
is an informal, Interdenominational fellowship of Christians
who work in the field of
nuclear science and technology. "We are committed to encouraging one another
in living out our faith day-by-day and in applying Christian principles in
our private and professional lives". The CNF has been meeting regularly in
conjunction with the summer and winter ANS (American Nuclear Society)
meetings since CNF was formed in 1976.
We became aware of this
group at their Reno meeting in 2006 and caught up with them again in Boston
in 2007. So, below we have posted some photos along with comments about who
they are and what they do.
