Brad - great to see that you are still checking the thread. First and foremost I’d like to thank you and Jim once again for all the great contributions you are making both online and in the real world towards promoting a better understanding of evolution in Christian realms. I share your concern that misunderstanding of science is a major reason for the secular/Christian divide we see today and I certainly appreciate your contributions.
I have two questions related to the topic of the article.
First, I wonder if your conversations also gave you some insight about whether there are online resources where non-BioLogos Christians question and discuss their own views much like we do over here. There is no substitute for in-person interactions like you and Jim promoted at this meeting but maybe there are also ways in which all of us can help clarify questions from those camps by engaging with them online?
Second, you gained very valuable insight from the interactions described in this article and I am glad that those who interacted with you were able to at least realize that it is possible to be a serious Christian and not deny evolution. My question is - how can more of us promote the same kind of understanding at our own churches? I know the BioLogos website has the Common Questions sections and some links to resources for study groups but do you also share some of your handouts and related materials that could serve as offline/in-person conversation starters?
