Open Theology & Science Seminar

A group of scientists and theologians are getting ready to meet for the "Open and Relational Theology Engaging Science" seminar at Azusa Pacific University in California, where they hope to create a new field of science-and-religion research centering around "open theology." Open theology is based on the belief that the future is open and that God does not fully know the details of what will happen. To that end, God and everything else in the universe continue to influence each other. Seminar participants will present new papers on open theology and science, and keynote speaker Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, will give a talk based on his book The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief. —Heather Wax
