“The Religion and Public Life Program (RPLP) at Rice University is hosting How SCIENCE Can Strengthen the FAITH of Your CHURCH, a free conference focused on the relationship between Christianity and science—how each shapes and challenges the other. This one-day conference will include keynote headliners Elaine Howard Ecklund, RPLP director and professor of sociology at Rice University; Mark Labberton, president of Fuller Theological Seminary; and Praveen Sethupathy, professor of biomedical sciences at Cornell University.
We invite you to join us on June 5, 2020 for a public conversation informed by cutting-edge research data and impactful stories. Come expand your understanding and be in conversation with pastors, scientists, theologians, and others.
In addition to plenary remarks on Christianity and science in today’s world, break-out sessions will provide practical information and tools for pastors and lay leaders to help them bridge divides between science and faith and scientific and faith communities. Topics to be addressed include, among others: engaging youth about science; race, social justice, and science; and human origins and human uniqueness.”
