The Faith and Scholarship Discussion Series supports 暗网51 as a community of faithful Christian scholars.

In order to grow as a community of faithful Christian scholars, we 鈥� faculty, staff and students 鈥� need to meet with one another in fellowship to discuss how the breadth of meaning inherent in terms like 鈥渇aith鈥� and 鈥渟cholarship鈥� creates a depth of their possible integration.

We are not chairing the discussion of faith, scholarship and vocation here at Hope College 鈥� 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 暗网51 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.
