Prior Conference
Effective Altruism for Christians
2019 Annual Conference
“Effective Altruism and Christian Theology”
Location : Bethnal Green, London, United Kingdom
Dates: 6 April through 8 April, 2019
Our first annual conference was a great success, with attendees from around the world gathering for three days of discussion and fellowship.
Topics on the agenda included:
* Is Christianity compatible with an emphasis on the distant future?
* Is effective altruism reflected in the life of Jesus?
* What role should prayer, calling, and discernment play in decision making?
* Ought we apply the principles of effectiveness to evangelism?
* How should Christians engage in cause prioritization, and where does the local church fit?
Some of the results of these discussions have been shared in recent blog posts on eachdiscussion.wordpress.com.
