the faraday institute for science and religion
Cambridge,
The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion is a Cambridge-based
interdisciplinary research institute improving public understanding of science
and religion. Its main focus is on the relationship between science and the
Christian faith, but it also engages with those of any faith or none. Home About
Overview PRINT SHARE Twitter Facebook Academic Research The Faraday Institute
has a Christian ethos, but encourages engagement with a wide diversity of
opinions concerning interactions between science and religion. It aims to
provide accurate information in order to facilitate informed debate. Founded in
2006 (as part of St Edmund’s College) since 2018 it has been an independent
charitable organisation and an Associate Member of the Cambridge Theological
Federation. The mission of The Faraday Institute is to shed new light on life’s
big questions through academically rigorous research in the field of science and
religion; to provide life-changing resources for those with interests in science
and faith through research dissemination, education and training; and, to
catalyse a change in attitude towards science and faith, through outreach to
schools, colleges, the scientific community, religious institutions and the
general public. The Faraday Institute has a vision to make the very best of
academic scholarship available as widely as possible. To this end we have
invested significantly in bursaries for academics from parts of the world where
access to good resources is limited. We make sure that our powerful online
resources are designed with simple interfaces and can all be downloaded and used
offline where internet access is patchy or absent.
