BioLogos board member Rich Mouw will be presenting “Our Uncivil Society: Can Evangelicals Be Part of the Solution?” on Wednesday, January 29, 2020 at Fuller Theological Seminary Texas in Houston.

“Incivility is growing in our society. Can evangelical Christians be a part of the solution? Can they begin to promote a form of Christ-centered civility that does not compromise their biblical convictions? Dr. Richard Mouw, the former president of Fuller Theological Seminary, has been working on this issue for decades in his writing and in his dialogues with Mormons, Jews, and other groups with whom he has serious disagreements. We invite you and your church to join us as Richard Mouw leads us in a candid evening discussion of Christ-centered civility.”
