Berkeley Covenent Church’s projects had three phases:
Conversation, Integration, and Expansion
In the 1st Phase, Conversation, they implemented a sustained engagement between pastoral leadership and resident scientists. This engagement included site visits, shared reading, videos, and podcasts—all of which prompted and promoted reflection and conversation. It was a two-way engagement: theological formation of scientists and scientific formation of theologians. Here is a list of materials they included in their process.
In the 2nd Phase, Integration, they developed an Adult Education Course, “Considering God’s Works.” This course was team-taught by pastoral staff and resident scientists. Here is a link to the course syllabus. A sampling of lecture videos is below. Another focus of this phase was the preaching of a series of sermons located in the resource list below. In addition, Berkeley Covenant Church purchased a range of books and resources for their church library.
In the 3rd Phase, Expansion, Berkeley Covenant Church sought to get the attention of folks beyond their congregation. In this effort, they produced two short videos that would appeal to a broad cross section of ages and were designed to create interest and get attention: The World Was Never Flat and The Unity of Humanity, which you can access via the videos below. There is a brief video below with pastors/scientists/lay leaders from BCC reflecting on the significance of this undertaking for their congregation.
