Scientists in Congregations
"Scientists in Congregations is a $2 million grant program, funded by the John Templeton Foundation, created to catalyze the dialogue of theology and science in local congregations. In 2011, grants were awarded to thirty-five congregations in the United States (representing twenty-five states), as well as one in Canada and one in France.
These grant recipients produced a wide range of projects on topics in theology and science that enhanced their congregational life. This website has gathered many of those projects as a way of resourcing additional churches that would like to explore their engagement with the insights of science. Our hope is that you will use these resources as guides for leading your own discussions and classes, or as inspiration to craft new material specifically tailored to your congregation."
Faith and Science Integration Resources
This is a hodge podge of social media, professional associations, and talks given on the integration of faith and science (especially addressing common 'hot topics' like evolution, cosmology, climate change, and social justice). They're intended to provide ways for faculty and scientists to be able to effectively address student concerns and questions about their ability to integrate faith and science, and to alleviate the pain students often experience when they feel they're being asked to choose between faith and science.
