The
purpose of The Humanitas Forum on Christianity and Culture is
to provide a venue for wrestling with many of the profound issues at
the intersection of faith and culture as well as with deeper
cultural currents that often go unnoticed—currents such as
individualism, secularization, scientific reductionism, and the
changing conception of human dignity.
The
mission of The Humanitas Forum is deliberately broader than
that of The Humanitas Project, which focuses on bioethics
education as an increasingly critical area within Christian
discipleship. In addition to bioethics, future Forums will address
a broad range of topics, such as education, entertainment,
technology, vocation and calling, Christian discipleship in a
secular age, science and religion, and human suffering.
In sum, the mission of
The Humanitas Forum on Christianity and Culture is to address
both the need for an accurate understanding of contemporary culture
and the requirements for engaging the culture on the basis of
historic Christian convictions. What does it mean to follow Jesus in
a post-Christian culture?
