The 2009 ITEST Conference

Environmental Stewardship In The Judeo-Christian Tradition

October 23– 25, 2009
at Our Lady of the Snows Conference Center
Belleville, Illinois 62223

This conference will treat environmental stewardship from three perspectives, Christian, Jewish and Catholic. It will focus on the broad questions associated with the concept of stewardship in relation to the environment rather than restricting its discussion to a single issue. As soon as we have our speakers, we will list their names on this site and on the announcements page of our quarterly ITEST bulletin.

We have booked the following speakers:

• Benjamin F. Abell: Professor of meteorology in the department of Earth and Atmospheric
  Sciences at St. Louis University.
  
  
• E. Calvin Beisner, PhD: National spokesman for the Cornwall Alliance
  for the Stewardship of Creation.
  
  
• Sister Elizabeth Michael Boyle, OP: Professor emerita of English at Caldwell College in Caldwell,
  New Jersey, and author of Science as Sacred Metaphor.
  
  
• Paul Driessen, JD, PhD: Senior fellow with the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow and
  Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise, nonprofit public policy institutes that focus on
  energy, the environment, economic development and international affairs.

Creation Lens: Exploring the World, Discovering God

Creation Lens: Exploring the World, Discovering God, (EWDG) is the culmination of a three-year pilot program, that was the vision of Father Robert A. Brungs, SJ director of the Institute for Theological Encounter with Science and Technology (ITEST).

Father Brungs believed that in order to expand ITEST's sphere of influence from the halls and laboratories of science, technology, and higher learning to our youngest seekers of truth, it would require some faith/science learning materials. It was his vision, which first conceived a faith/science interfaced learning which would prepare children to assume their roles in modern civilization as believers and scientists.

Exploring the World, Discovering God (EWDG) is a series of FREE faith/science lessons available to teaching professionals. The project was largely funded by a grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute and developed by ITEST.
