This month we are exploring again with Jim Miller some of the key aspects of historical faith and science interactions as part of his ongoing series of articles providing a wealth of ancient wisdom in a new way.

Indeed, much more can be done in bringing these ideas to life and we are seeing new online media popping up, including new online efforts by Lutheran Alliance Steering Committee member Dana Hendershot detailed in this month’s news section.

We are still seeing a fair number of online conferences on faith and science topics popping up. There are many replays available to the world’s benefit, which I explore in this month’s commentary. As we enter the third year of COVID and navigate the new look and feel of meetings, we still have much to learn from one another. And sometimes technology, can help us do just that at ease.

We hope you enjoy this month’s issue and find it useful in finding additional great content!
