Faith and Scholarship Discussion Series
The Faith and Scholarship Discussion Series supports Hope College as a community of faithful Christian scholars.
In order to grow as a community of faithful Christian scholars, we ɫɔ faculty, staff and students ɫɔ need to meet with one another in fellowship to discuss how the breadth of meaning inherent in terms like ɫɜfaithɫɝ and ɫɜscholarshipɫɝ creates a depth of their possible integration.
We are not chairing the discussion of faith, scholarship and vocation here at Hope College ɫɔ no one is. The point is neither to impose a particular view nor to require anyone to learn, teach, research, or serve a certain way. If there is a reason for the discussion, it is to help build a community of Christian scholars faithful to the mission of integrating the lives of the mind and of the spirit, a community whose members are comfortably vulnerable about how they define and live out these terms and their relationship to one another, and a community that enacts and models the virtues of civil discourse for all to see.
The Faith and Scholarship Discussion Series takes place on Thursday at 8 a.m. over
the summer, in Schaap Science Center Room 1118. Each week a member of the Hope College
faculty will lead a discussion about the integration of faith and scholarship in the
context of vocation.
This is an excellent opportunity to be part of a broader conversation about these
critically important issues. Coffee, juice and bagels will be served, and we will
be finished by 9 a.m.
We welcome all students, faculty and staff to these discussions.
