Who are Christians in Science?
Science and religious faith are two of the most powerful influences on our culture today . The relationship between them is key to some of the big questions of life, but many think that science conflicts with belief in God or religion. Even some within the Christian Church see science as a threat, viewing the discoveries of science as undermining faith. By contrast, at Christians in Science (CiS) we believe that science actually enhances our religious faith. We are passionate about correcting the view that a conflict exists between science and Christian belief. It is widely acknowledged, by historians, that modern science was nurtured and encouraged by a Christian worldview. Many of the pioneering figures in science believed in God and this tradition continues today. We aim to support the faith of Christians working in science and scientists in churches. By helping the Church present a positive message around science, CiS can also become a church’s partner in mission to a sceptical world.
We are a network of people including research scientists in universities, commercial and government laboratories and hi-tech companies, engineers, theologians and philosophers, as well as students, teachers, administrators and anyone interested in science and faith issues. CiS has close links with organisations such as the Faraday Institute of Science and Religion and other science-Christianity organisations around the UK and internationally.
As a membership charity, CiS is funded by our members who pay a fixed rate to be a member. You don’t have to be a member to be involved with CiS or attend our events, but it gives some perks such as a subscription to our newsletter, and discounts on tickets (full information can be found here: https://www.cis.org.uk/join/)
