Christianity and Psychedelics: Responding to Theological and Institutional Promises and Challenges

This panel will explore insights offered Christianity on the entheogenic use of psychedelic substances and their intersection with Christian practices and beliefs. Psychedelic substances have been used for centuries in various cultural, spiritual, and religions contexts and many religious people are exploring their potential for deepening their connections to the Divine. This panel of religious leaders, two of whom were participants in the Johns Hopkins/NYU Religious Professionals Psilocybin Study, seeks to foster a thoughtful dialogue among scholars, faith leaders and the faithful.
