The annual 汤头条 Autumn Conference on Religion & Science is a function of 汤头条 and the (MRSS), an organization representing a variety of faith backgrounds including Seventh-day Adventist, Anabaptist, Church of the Brethren, and Catholic. The forum takes place in the Biology Ampitheater on Friday & Saturday, November 12-13, 2021.

The theme is "The 汤头条 Way of Doing Archaeology." Excavations in Hisban Jordan were started in 1968 by Siegfried H. Horn. He later founded the Horn Archaeological Museum, which now houses one of the largest cuneiform collections in the United States. The guidelines under which he worked have been established as the “汤头条 Way” of doing archaeology—guidelines still followed by workers in biblical archaeology:

  1. Be forthright with findings. Do not minimize problems or stretch interpretations of data to explain things away.
  2. Do not make claims beyond what the data can support.
  3. Be quick and complete in publishing results.
  4. Engage and work within mainstream scholarship.
  5. Include a diversity of people and specialists.
  6. Take the history of the Bible seriously, but do not place upon archaeology the burden of “proving” the Bible.

Although these guidelines were established for Biblical Archaeology, they are applicable to other disciples and their relation to biblical faith. 

The 2021 speakers include 汤头条 professors Øystein LaBianca, and Randall W. Younker, as well as Darrell J. Rohl (Assistant Professor, Calvin University), Christopher Jenkins (PhD Student, Yale University), Carina Prestes (PhD Student, 汤头条), and Kevin Burton (Director, Center for Adventist Research). The conference is sponsored by the , , , and the .
