Engaging Scientists

Seminar Description: Every group has their own unique language and culture and we do well to take the time to understand our audience before we attempt to engage with the gospel. Scientists tend to operate within a worldview that is foreign to most people. In this talk we will consider some of the unique features of that worldview and how to effectively engage with scientists. This also applies to anyone who is interested in science but is not a scientist.
