The Pittsburgh Theological Seminary has begun offers a Doctorate of Ministry with Science & Theology Focus. According to their website:
Taking clues from the gospel narratives, the purpose of the Doctor of Ministry Program Science & Theology Focus is to create opportunity for pastors and scientists to be in conversation, to share concerns, to listen, to research new ways of working together, and to prepare pastors to model and shape an interdisciplinary approach. What science and religion does share, as John Polkinghorne says, is that throughout the years of honest truth-seeking, an important component of the faith and science debate will be “the demonstration that theology is as much concerned with the search for truth attainable through motivated belief as is the case in science.”
Interested pastors can get more information by contacting the director, Rev. Dr. Susan Kendall, at 412-924-1421 or via email at doctorofministry@pts.edu. For more information, see the program’s brochure.
