What are people of faith saying about genetic technologies? How do I develop an informed, nuanced, faith-based perspective on emerging issues? These questions and more will be addressed in Navigating Faith and Genetics, an upcoming course by the Council’s Faith and Life Sciences Reference Group.
In this online, five-week learning experience, participants will explore topics such as gene editing, genetic engineering, and genetically modified seeds in conversation with each other. The course will be facilitated by Dr. Michael Buttrey and guests from the Council’s Faith and Life Sciences Reference Group.
