Dr Christa McKirland came to New Zealand and Carey Baptist College six years ago, with a Templeton Grant and a few ideas about Science Engaged Theology. She is leaving in a few months to return to the United States. We chat to her about her time here, what she has learned, her current thinking about SET, and what she is going back to.

Dr McKirland is Dean of Faculty and a lecturer in Systematic Theology at Carey Baptist College. She is also the Founder and Executive Director of Logia International, which seeks to support women who are pursuing postgraduate theological education.

ISCAST/NZCIS Zoom Conversation, Upcoming Event
11 June - 23 July 2026 | The old formula of evolution by natural selection is undergoing pressure. The idea that all change over many aeons occurred through random mutation followed by the survival of the fittest has been modified, expanded upon, and, in some ways, upended in recent decades. Convergence and constraints, evo devo, the ubiquity of altruism in the mammalian tree, cooperation as a driver of development, and epigenetics are among the emphases that subtly change our paradigm of evolution. In this six-part series, the ISCAST-NZCIS Conversations bring together international biologists and theologians to highlight newer understandings of evolution and their repercussions for theology.
