We live in challenging times when the progress of medical technology is fast outpacing our ability to keep up ethically. Issues such as cloning, embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia, and reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization all require both understanding and proper Christian responses.
Emmanuel Covenant Church will be presenting a teaching series concerning these issues during the summer of 2011.
The teacher for this course is Mr. Mike Munoz. Mike has a Master of Arts in education from Northern Arizona University as well as a Master of Arts in religion from Reformed Theological Seminary. He has been teaching ethics for many years at Glendale Community College and Fayetteville State University in their Fire Sciences divisions.
