Lutheran Alliance for Faith, Science and Technology

The Lutheran Alliance for Faith, Science, and Technology is an Independent Organization of the ELCA dedicated to expanding awareness and promoting conversation about the implica¬tions of science and technology for Christian faith and life. Prior to becoming the Alliance for Faith, Science and Technology in 2002, the effort was known as the Working Group Steering Committee for Faith, Science and Technology.  The membership includes over a thousand ELCA scientists, science teachers, clergy and other interested lay people.

The Alliance's activities are directed by a volunteer Steering Committee that meets on a monthly basis. The Alliance has challenged and assisted the church to understand, discuss, and act on the implications of science and technology for Christian life in many ways. It has made sponsored the development of resources and education events such as sample worship materials, the 1997 Rediscovering Cosmos Conference at Syracuse University, last September's Sunday Scientist Symposium, and has provided for the ongoing publication of the newsletter Covalence. The Alliance also participates in the Ecumenical Roundtable, an annual meeting of denominational groups from the U.S. and Canada to discuss faith and science issues and to share resources. These groups include: United Church of Christ, Presbyterian, United Methodist, Episcopalian and Lutheran (ELCA).
