On Sunday, July 28, 2024, at 5PM, Dr. Keith Plummer, dean of the School of Divinity at Cairn University in Langhorne, PA, will give a lecture titled, “Technology and Christian Discipleship” at CCWC’s Sunday Night Theology. This lecture will seek to explain what technology is, how it fits within the biblical story of creation, fall, and redemption, and whether technology is simply a neutral tool as is often assumed to be the case. Drawing on the insights of media ecology, the lecture will examine the inevitability of technologies’ formative effects on their users (e.g., the psychological, social, and intellectual effects of immersive digital technology). The goal of this lecture is to help Christians engage and employ digital technology with wisdom and will conclude with a Q&A. This event is free and open to all. Childcare is provided.
Dr. Plummer will also preach from Matthew 22:34-30 and Romans 13:8-10 during CCWC’s 10 AM worship service.
