As a Matthew 25 Synod, we strive to condemn racism at every turn, and to discover and confess its shadow over our own lives and congregations. A specific ministry focus of the Synod in 2022 is “to eradicate structural racism and to model inclusion.” You can learn more about our partners for this Workshop, Science for the Church, at Science for the Church.

Science for the Church is a ministry supporting Christian communities and leaders in engaging science. Again and again, we have seen how this engagement can benefit the church.
