Continuing the ongoing dialogue about “what we are becoming” at Peaceful Science, I wanted to note where ew have come and post some values to discuss.
While we have done none of the things we were considering in the OP, we have instead:
-
Hosted several Office Hours, which are turning into an excellent way to go deeper with scholars on a wide range of questions. What are Office Hours?
-
Planned on a book club with @AndyWalsh on his new book: Book Club: Faith Across the Multiverse.
-
Become a place to host dialogue on important events as they arise in the faith-science conversation.
Going forward, I am hoping to articulate some of our values more clearly. I’m curious how this is received:
Distinctive Values:
-
Find common ground in the grand questions themselves, instead of in specific answers. In the spirit of science, we will take questions seriously.
-
Emphasize a confessional voice in science: personal and public disclosures by scientists that Jesus is Lord, and we believe He rose from the dead.
-
Explain mainstream science with theological neutrality, encouraging dialogue between theologically diverse groups.
-
Engage the concerns of the overlooked audiences, such as non-white communities and secular scientists, who approach science with their own questions, concerns, and values.
What are your thoughts?
