I am processing all the feedback about bridge-building and avoiding debate.
But here’s something I wanted to do with a non-Christian bio professor.
For public consumption.
At Yale there is this thing called a Christian study center, part of a movement.
60-70% of the turnout for events is non-Christian faculty
What they do
They have a topic like “What does it mean to be human?”
They have a dinner with the talk
They have one presenter who is a believer, a PhD. The other may be a non-Christian but maybe not
My friend is the director. He says the faculty love it.
I thought as a former biology teacher of co-presenting with a biology professor over a meal at a neutral site.
Any feedback on the study center model? I heard what one person said about a three-person discourse and have actually done that before at my seminary to very positive effect
But this would involve secular academics in a public space
