A couple of weeks ago I was at a conference in Cambridge, and I met some people from an organisation called the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion. It’s a research enterprise based at St Edmund’s College, Cambridge, and they have more going on than their rather unassuming website would suggest.
Take a look at their multimedia section and you will find dozens of talks and seminars from all kinds of eminent scientists and theologians, on a wide variety of topics. Some of them are mainstream, like climate change and evolution, others noticeably esoteric, like the course on ‘Creation, Evil and Time’ by the ominously named Dr John Polkinghorne. Talks can be downloaded in audio and video or streamed on site. If you’re a Christian scientist, or a science student. There’s plenty of useful perspectives here that you’ll never hear in a church.
More extensive information can be found in the Faraday papers, or for a great summary of the issues around climate change and faith, see Sir John Houghton’s briefing. He’s a former chair of the IPCC, so he knows what he’s talking about.
Thanks! The multimedia section is a treasure.
