History:
The Collegiate Peaks Forum SeriesTM began as a small group of intellectually curious citizens in Chaffee County, Colorado, who determined that their lives could be enhanced by investigating the challenging

questions raised by the interrelationship of philosophy, religion and science through academic stimulation, related discussions and their ensuing insights. To that end, notable speakers and scholars active in these disciplines would be invited to speak, offer their published works and engage in constructive dialogue.
