• Sept. 27th and Oct 1st: Opening of the Institute for Faith Integration
  (Speaker: Dr. Alan Padgett, Luther Seminary)
  Karen has offered to buy, for attending HGST students and pastors, the book on this topic that Alan Padgett wrote: Science and Theology.

  "The most important cultural institution in the modern and post-modern world is that of “science.” Evangelical Christians in all theological traditions have had a tumultuous relationship with science over the past 100 years but have rarely engaged it as a cultural phenomenon. These 5 voices on the topic come together for an evening of dialogue, discussion, and proposals for thinking through one of the most important of issues facing the Church today."
