Wycliffe College
Wycliffe College developed seed grant activities under the theme, “What Does it Mean to be Human? Scientific, Theolgoical and Moral Dimensions,” to catalyze institutional engagement with the natural sciences.
A symposium event brought together scholars and scientists to explore multiple perspectives on the following questions: how can science inform Christian anthropology and practice of ministry? and how does a Christian theological vision create goals and limits for medicine and science? The following symposium sessions can be viewed online:
- Dr. Carl Trueman, theologian, on the Rise & Triumph of the Modern Self,
- Dr. Joseph Graves, geneticist, on Science and the Biology of Race,
- Andreae Sennyah, policy researcher, on the State of the Human Person, and
- Dr. Farr Curlin, palliative and hospice physician, on “For the Patient’s Good? Two Rival Accounts of Medicine.”
Project faculty Drs. Ewan Goligher and Victor Shepherd developed a workshop to develop professional skills among pastors, physicians, and theological and medical students around three issues: gender identity care, genetic screening and family counseling, and medical assistance in dying.
Science-engaged courses in Theological Anthropology and Continuing Education are still in development.
Wycliffe College is an Anglican-affiliated member institution of the Toronto School of Theology and the University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada.
