Hello, welcome to the theology podcast. It's great to have you here for this episode.

We are stepping away from the series of episodes that we recorded at Oxford, but we have other shows from that trip that will be posting soon, but today

we're going to talk about something that's kind of timely to talk about because of the nature

of what we're going to be talking about as you're going to learn in a minute.

But instead of getting ahead of myself, let me just introduce myself.

I'm Sierra Wiley, I'm a pastor, I serve a church, the Pacific Northwest.

And relevant to this conversation, I was a professor of philosophy teaching on an adjunct basis at Eastern Nazarene College for about a decade.

And that's important for reasons related to the subject of the conversation today. But also I'm a senior editor for

Touchstone magazine and I'm also a contributing writer at World magazine both

for the print and online editions, and I submitted an editorial

to the magazine concerning the subject of our show today.

So that's, again, a connection that's important to make.

Anyway, let me kick it over to you, Tom, and let you introduce yourself.

I'm Tom Price.

I teach theology, Christian ethics, Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary.

I teach philosophy and other things

at other institutions, some of which

have been also impacted by things

we'll be talking about today.

Yeah, yeah. I think it's something we can take talking about today. Yeah, yeah.

I think it's something we can take for granted

that we've all been impacted by what we're going to be talking about today.
