The title of this talk seemed like a very short topic to me when I was first asked to speak about it. I didn’t see any contribution at all that science and technology had made to spiritual growth. There didn’t appear to be a shred of a connection.
Having done some reading and thinking since that time, slowly I’ve come to the realization that the relationship between science, technology, and spiritual growth is one of, if not the, most urgent and impactful issues of our time.
There seem to be two primary ways that science and technology make their contributions: first in the form of challenges that they pose to religious living, and second in the opportunities that they create.
