The symposium will assist non-scientist pastors and Christian leaders in their understanding of current scientific issues; the nature of scientific inquiry and the limits of science; responding to the misuse of science to further naturalistic beliefs; the nurture and care of the scientific person; and engaging and transforming the culture in science and faith matters.
