Renewing Mind and Heart

Questions for the Next Generation in Christian Higher Education

Oct. 17-19, 2024

Join us at Whitworth University for a thought-provoking conference that aims to rekindle an ongoing conversation about the future of Christian higher education.

• What makes a Christian university education worthwhile?
• How can our academic communities cultivate an education not just of the mind, but also of the heart and soul?
• And is it possible for Christian universities to draw upon the deep resources of our theological tradition while also faithfully standing against systemic injustice in society and our own communities?
  Over three days, the Weyerhaeuser Center for Christian Faith and Learning will host plenary talks from leading Christian thinkers such as James K.A. Smith, Beth Allison Barr, and Jessica Hooten Wilson, worship services led by Porter’s Gate, facilitated conversation over shared meals, and break-out sessions designed to encourage more focused disciplinary conversations about the integration of faith, scholarship, and teaching.
  Whether you are a K-12 teacher, a professor, an administrator, a pastor, a parent of a prospective college student, or a curious layperson, we hope you'll join us this fall on Whitworth's beautiful campus for an energizing conversation about some of the things that make for a life worth living.
