Join us for a faculty-led 4-week virtual course for faculty - Why Does "Blackness" Matter?: The socio-historical context of racism in America. We’re hoping this course will offer faculty from diverse religious and secular perspectives a space to explore these important questions about race in America. We welcome you to invite faculty colleagues from your university or field to attend this course with you. This is a great opportunity to learn together each Thursday from Jan 28 - Feb 18.
Be prepared to discuss the ethical and moral implications of the COVID-19 vaccine and fetal cell lines by joining Dr. John Chae on Friday, February 5.
Evangelical Christians are active across all spheres of intellectual and public life today. But a disconnect remains: the work they produce too often fails to inform their broader communities. In the midst of a divisive culture and a related crisis within evangelicalism, public intellectuals speaking from an evangelical perspective have a critical role to play—within the church and beyond. What does it look like to embrace such a vocation out of a commitment to the common good?
All are welcome as we search together for shalom, examining racial justice from a Christian perspective through monthly readings and discussions.

Due to the pandemic caused by COVID-19 and all of the ripple effects, we have decided to cancel the Blue Ridge Faculty Conference for 2020. We have come to this decision after much thought and prayer. We hope for and are planning for a Blue Ridge Faculty Conference in 2021 with the same speakers and at the same beautiful retreat center.
As university faculty and staff, you contribute to God’s kingdom in unique ways. But our experience as Christians in the academy can be a lonely one. Join us online for a virtual Faculty Conference and connect with colleagues despite the pandemic. We will worship, pray, network, explore our vocational calling, and engage in conversations of importance to your life, work, and much more!
