Cristo Redentor :: Corcovado, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

The natural setting of Rio harbour is outstandingly beautiful; but the city is one of the most violent in the world, with huge disparities between rich and poor, along with enormous social and environmental problems. This image reminds us of the relationship of Jesus Christ to both the natural world as Creator and Sustainer, and to the world of human affairs as its Redeemer and Lord. The Developing a Christian Mind programme will let us challenge each other to think more profoundly about these two relationships in the context of our academic endeavours.

Seeking Wisdom?  Engaging the disciplines from the standpoint of faith

A two-day conference was held in Oxford (Manor Road Social Sciences Building) in March 2009. Separate disciplinary streams included the following areas: Physical and Life Sciences, Social Sciences, Law, Literature, and History.  Each stream included a series of seminars and discussions exploring the interface between a Christian worldview and particular academic disciplines. The Medical Sciences stream is planned as a new addition to next year's programme.
