AAAS DoSER Equipping Christian Leadership in an Age of Science
"“In an age when faith is often portrayed in opposition to science, we want to create opportunities for church leaders to connect with world-class science and scientists; to develop well-informed, theologically grounded, practical knowledge about the world and our place in it.”
Based in the UK, the Equipping Christian Leadership in an Age of Science (ECLAS) project carries out original research to determine attitudes towards science and the efficacy of existing scientific narratives. Using insights from this research, they create resources for teaching on science and religion, working with theological courses and colleges to develop and incorporate new teaching materials into ordination training. They also hold conferences for senior leaders on cutting-edge scientific topics including cosmology, artificial intelligence and robotics, genetics, and complexity. Through ECLAS’ Scientists in Congregations programme, they resource churches at a local level to engage in the science-faith dialogue, awarding grants for innovative events, theatre pieces, lectures and more."
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.
