>Today I will be traveling to Grand Rapids, Michigan to attend the annual conference of the Acton Institute. The conference is called “Acton University.” Acton University “offers a unique opportunity for religious leaders and university professors to deepen their knowledge and integrate rigorous philosophy, Christian theology, and sound economics.”
These are some of the lectures I will be attending at Acton University:
“Social and Economic Context of the New Testament”
“Wealth and Poverty in Scripture”
“Evangelical Social Thought: Justice Grounded in Love”
“Biblical Theology and Environmental Ethics”
I attended Action University last year and was greatly challenged by the lectures. This year, once again, I will be attending Acton University as a Kern Fellow. The Kern Family Foundation has graciously provided me with a scholarship that allows me to attend Acton University
So, I will be gone from June 15-18, 2010. After I return from Michigan, I will post about my experience at Acton University and what I learned from the lectures.

>I would be especially interested in how they integrate Biblical Theology with Environmental Issues. I would imagine that there will be a lot of mention of Adam and of Noah being charged with being good stewards of the earth and all that dwells upon it.
