It's said that we live in a digital age or a technological society, that we live in a technopolis or a technological world, that we have a technological culture, however one conveys it. The point is this technology is the context of our current lives. Technology is inseparable from being human. It accompanies our waking and our sleeping, our work and our worship, our recreation and rest, our being born and our dying devices and machines do not simply exist out there and then enter our previously established life. They're there from the beginning. We're intimate from them with birth in a hospital, with the devices that bring about the birth, the medical examinations, the car seat we use to take a child home. Technology weaves through our everyday thinking, educating, raising family, churchgoing, leisure and labor. 

Because technology is so intimate to us, we struggle to recognize its particular influence on our lives. 

The Faith Science and Technology Initiative at LeTourneau University exists to examine, reflect, challenge, and advance, all conversation and action related to our collective calling as followers of Christ in relation to the world in which we live.
