'Science for Seminaries' Highlights Importance of Integrating Faith and Science

It's a common misconception that Christianity and science are somehow opposed, two competing entities for the hearts and minds of our society. The reality is that robust, faithful Christian scholarship not only can coexist with scientific inquiry, but it can thrive with it—and needs to in order to speak to the pressing personal and cultural questions of our day. As a case in point, Portland, Oregon's Multnomah Seminary has received a significant grant to integrate scientific coursework into the studies of seminarians.

Possible Preaching Angle:

What are your thoughts about the relationship of faith and science? Are you able to integrate the contours of belief and inquiry to understand the God who has revealed himself both in the Bible and in creation? Let's work for bringing together our Christianity and good science.
