Creation in Crisis: Science and Theology Respond
One-Day Digital Conference: April 15, 2020
The Creation in Crisis: Science and Theology Respond Conference focuses on the urgent environmental crisis facing humanity and our entire planet. We are privileged to welcome Nalini Nadkarni, Cornelia Mutel, and Larry Rasmussen as our keynote presenters and panelists. Each brings insightful perspectives on the ethical challenges we face in responding to this global crisis. The program also will feature the opportunity to participate in workshops on environmental themes.
This one-day digital conference is offered as a result of Wartburg’s grant award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to participate in the Science for Seminaries project of the AAAS Dialogue on Science, Ethics and Religion (DoSER) Program.
