BioLogos' Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced


Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition!  ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations. Each project takes a different approach to address theological and philosophical questions commonly voiced by Christians about evolutionary creation. ECF places a premium on scholarship with high “translational” potential—that which leaves the academy and makes an impact on the church. The program runs through August 2015.
Grantees will benefit from in-person interaction through a series of summer workshops in 2013, 2014, and 2015. These meetings will not only foster a broader knowledge base, but will build a sustained network of scholars and church leaders, both young and seasoned, who are serious about addressing the concerns of the church about evolution. Also in 2015, in connection with the third summer workshop, BioLogos will host a large conference open to scientists, scholars, and church leaders from around the world.
