Feature Stories
The 2024 PLTS Founders' Day Lecture featured Mark Yaconelli - a writer, retreat leader, community builder, spiritual director, storycatcher, husband, and father. You can hear his incredible words of wisdom at the link inside!
PLTS was immensely fortunate to welcome Dr. Arvin Gouw for our 2023 Mohrenweiser Lecture. Dr. Gouw clearly described the mechanism and uses of CRISPR for a lay audience, and then dug deeper into the ethical and religious implications of this powerful gene-editing tool. Afterward, Dr. Ted Peters offered a response that pushed religious leaders, particularly pastors, to think through how the existence and increasing prominence of this technology might affect their congregants.
We encourage you to watch and share the below video of this lecture and continue the conversation.
