We are very grateful to @eclasproject for awarding us funding for our project ‘Christology and the Cosmos’!
Our project will explore theological understandings of time and space and the nature of Christian hope in the light of contemporary cosmology. More details to follow!
We are privileged to support churches and theological colleges in the UK to explore science and faith with creativity and imagination.

Last week we heard from three fascinating speakers on ocean plastics and theology.
The clear message was that there is no silver bullet solution to this problem - but there are things Christians CAN do to help.

Our next online seminar is on 'Complexity at the Mesoscale' with Dr Miro Cafolla.
Often we consider complexity in very small or very large systems, but Miro will focus on the intermediate scale - this should be a fascinating talk!
Thurs 21 May 9-10am.

"In science and religion, titles imply a preferred way of imagining the relationship between the two central objects of interest.
If fiction titles reveal genre expectations, scholarly titles may reveal how a field imagines itself."
