Looking for ways to engage the next generation of faith leaders?
Searching for deeper dialogue between science and theology?
Hopeful about what’s possible when theological educators lead the way?

The Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Religion (DoSER) and Equipping Christian Leadership in an Age of Science (ECLAS) invite you to reconnect, reflect, and reimagine with the Science for Seminaries network.

Join fellow theological educators from North America, the UK, and beyond for a series of virtual gatherings to discuss the practical implications of emerging science and technology issues for faith communities and how to equip your students to lead in a changing world.
