Today and tomorrow, historians, scientists, and theologians will gather on the campus of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary for a one-of-a-kind conference on the historical events that shaped our understanding of science and faith.
And a little snow won’t stop us! The Southeastern grounds crew have worked hard to ensure that all the sidewalks are safe and passable.
Here’s what you need to know about today’s conference. And if you haven’t registered yet but want to come, ask us about session-only tickets!
