Religion and Science Conference
About the Conference
The annual Goshen College Conference on Religion and Science is designed to provide maximum interaction with principal thinkers in the dialog between religion and science. Registered conference attendees take part in three discussions — conversations on the issues raised in the lectures, and hearing reactions from selected respondents to the lectures.
Conference attendees will also receive:
- a program booklet
- readings to prepare for the conference
- access to recordings of all the conference sessions after the conference ends
Students registered for the conference are full participants in all of these activities. Additionally, they will take part in a students-only discussion session with the conference speakers.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2025 conference.
