Conference Opportunity for Students on Faith, Science, and Youth Ministry
submitted by warnbers@augsburg.edu
Did Jesus Ride a Dinosaur?
It sounds like a silly question, but it gets at the heart of a problem that-according to Pew Research-leads a significant number of youth to abandon their faith: the perceived conflict between faith and science.
Yet, faith and science don’t have to be at odds. There are faithful, fruitful, and intellectually rigorous ways of putting the two in conversation-something that might just be a lifeline for youth.
So bring your curiosity and questions to Jesus Rode a Dinosaur: Faithful Youth Ministry in a Scientific Age, a conference on May 7-8. Speakers include: Krista Tippett, Mike Mchargue, Kendra Dean, Mark DeVries, Rozella Haydée White, Paul Douglas and Andrew Root.
Learn more about this conference from this link: http://scienceym.org/jesus-rode-a-dinosaur-faithful-youth-ministry-in-a-scientific-age/?utm_source=bm23&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Register+for+%E2%80%9CJesus+Rode+a+Dinosaur:+Faithful+Youth+Ministry+in+a+Scientific+Age.%E2%80%9D&utm_content=Did+Jesus+ride+a+dinosaur?&utm_campaign=20180321+-+Science+for+Youth+Ministry+Email+%231

This contemporary site-specific revision of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible will perform at Bethany Lutheran Church on Franklin Avenue close to the Augsburg campus.

In a time of fake news and alternative facts, Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, a play about the Salem witch trails in colonial Massachusetts 1692, seems more significant then ever. Written by Miller in 1953 in response to McCarthyism, the play examines the dangers of extremism, fabricated accusations, and shattered trust.
