The New Evangelical Social EngagementMay 19 2012 10:30 AM - 01:00 PM

With opening comments by Joel Carpenter (Calvin College); Glen Stassen (Fuller Theological Seminary); and R. Stephen Warner (University of Illinois-Chicago), this public forum culminates a private workshop of scholars studying the fact that in recent years evangelical Protestants have increasingly turned their energies toward issues such as homelessness, poverty, urban renewal, sustainable development, climate change, racial reconciliation, HIV/AIDS, human trafficking, peacemaking, and the like. This marks a shift in social priorities when compared to past decades. Evangelicals themselves realize that there is change afoot, and some scholars have recognized this trend anecdotally, but there has yet to be a sustained academic effort to explore it. Fourteen scholars will gather in Indianapolis to present their work on the topic. This session will be free of charge and open to the public and allow for interaction among these scholars, others gathered for this event, and the general public.
