ETHOS ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2020:

GOD AND CREATION

3 Oct 2020 (Saturday), 10.00 a.m. to 12.45 p.m.

Wesley Methodist Church or via ZOOM (To be confirmed closer to the date) https://ethosinstitute.sg/godandcreation/ 6304-3765 (Ms Florence Kang) info@ethosinstitute.sg

The doctrine of creation is a central tenet of the Christian faith. It is found in the first pages of the Bible (Gen 1:1–31) and enshrined in the ecumenical creeds of the Church, such as the Apostles’ and Nicene creeds. This conference will explore this doctrine as it is presented in Scripture and tradition. It will also examine the place of this doctrine in the Church’s theology and worship, and its significance for Christianity’s dialogue with the natural sciences and the current ecological crisis.

Organised by ETHOS Institute™ for Public Christianity.
