Coker to Speak on Evolution Sunday at ECC

Jeffrey Coker, Assistant Professor of Biology, will deliver the sermon at Elon Community Church on Evolution Sunday, Feb. 11, at 10:30 a.m.

Dr. Coker’s sermon, titled “Humans as Creators: Stewardship in a Rapidly Evolving World,” will explore how humans are driving modern evolution through genetic and environmental manipulation, what this means for Christian families, and how Christians are called to be loving stewards of Creation.

In observing Evolution Sunday, Elon Community Church affirms there is not a conflict between the Christian faith and evolution. Evolution Sunday is observed on the Sunday closest to the birthday anniversary of Charles Darwin, who was born Feb. 12, 1809.
