Keeping Faith in Science?
How does Christian faith speak into current debates about health sciences, technology, the climate crisis or distributive justice?  How are church leaders engaging these intersections? USPG, in collaboration with scientists and theologians from around the world, is exploring these questions through a series of four webinars in February 2022. These aim to bring ordinands, new clergy and lay ministers from across the Anglican Communion together virtually to listen, respond and be inspired to go out together in ministry, better equipped to confront some of the most difficult challenges of our time.
Every Thursday in February USPG will be facilitating discussions on these important areas with theologians, scientists, church leaders, ordinands and lay leaders.
Register to be a part of these informative, interactive webinars where you will join with participants from across the Anglican Communion.
Join our Facebook group to continue the discussion after the event.
