Science on Sunday

Scott Hoezee

Calvin Symposium on Worship 2009

In most churches, preachers and worship leaders generally avoid science in their sermons and liturgies. At most, preachers may spar with science, challenging its alleged refutations of the Bible and the faith and so leaving the impression that science is the enemy of the church. In this workshop Scott Hoezee suggested that science can be an excellent partner for preachers in celebrating the gifts and wonders of God that come to us in the handiwork of God’s good creation. The workshop explored reasons science is a partner in ministry, not a threat to it, and how preachers and worship leaders can use science more positively in their teaching and preaching.
