Scientists, theologians to hold seminar
Some of the world's most respected scientists and theologians will come together to create a new direction of research in science and religion at the Open and Relational Theology Seminar April 10-12 at Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, Calif. The seminar will feature a series of lectures and debates on topics including cosmology, biology and the human sciences designed to generate interest in the growing field of open theology and further explore the relationship between science and religion, Christian Newswire reported Thursday.
This seminar serves as a follow-up to the Open Theology and Science Conference held at Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, Mass., in June 2007. Participants will present papers on open theology and science that were produced as a result of the foundations laid at last year's conference.
Presenters include: Francis Collins, National Human Genome Research Project; John Sanders, Hendrix College; Anna Case-Winters, McCormack Theological Seminary; Clark Pinnock, McMaster Divinity College and Michael Lodahl, Point Loma Nazarene University.
In addition to the paper presentations, there will be a series of keynote lectures and panels. The Conference is sponsored by the John Templeton Foundation.
