Next week, we are honored to welcome Dr. Edward (“Ned”) Walker as our featured speaker. Dr. Walker will share insights drawn from his extensive background as both a dedicated Bahá'í and a distinguished university professor. His presentation will explore the foundational Bahá'í teaching of the harmony between science and religion—a principle he views as a forward-looking, essential framework for the modern age.
Dr. Walker emphasizes that the harmony of science and religion represents one of many innovative, anticipatory pronouncements stemming from the Bahá'í Revelation:
“...whose implications are gradually becoming clearer in the succession of the modern age into the new era.”
Dr. Walker resides in central Michigan with his wife, Dr. Jesslyn Ingram. Throughout his years of devotion to the Faith, he has served on local spiritual assemblies, assisted auxiliary board members, facilitated Ruhi study circles, hosted firesides, and participated in numerous interfaith events. He has also contributed his expertise globally, offering weekend seminars on science and religion at the Louhelen Bahá'í Center of Learning, and publishing articles on BahaiTeachings.org.
Professionally, Dr. Walker is a University Distinguished Professor on the faculty of the Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Genetics at Michigan State University, where he has taught and conducted research since 1986. His global health work focuses on microbial ecology, infectious diseases, and insect-borne illnesses like malaria. He has served as a consultant for prestigious global health organizations—including the WHO, CDC, NIH, and the Gates Foundation—and has conducted vital field research across countries such as Uganda, Kenya, Malawi, Honduras, and the Philippines.
