ABC2 stands for Associação Brasileira de Cristãos na Ciência, which in English is Brazilian Association of Christians in Science. Currently, Brazilian society has very limited means to conduct a continued thoughtful discussion of contemporary issues involving faith and science. This project aims to construct a bridge between the scientific milieu and the Christian community in Brazil through the creation of the ABC2, with the mission of establishing conditions for a sustained, creative and high-level dialogue between the fields of Christian faith and science, to the benefit of the Brazilian culture and society in general.
The project comprises three interconnected initiatives: (1) Networking: strategic visits to people and institutions in the main Brazilian cities and a series of public events planned to reach a wider audience and especially Christians interested in science; (2) Engagement: engaging activities designed to assembly, network and empower people both in science and in ministry, aiming at establishing local leaders for ABC2; (3) Content: editorial and media initiatives designed to bring high-quality information to specialized and general public.
