Scientists are taking vicars on tours of laboratories and addressing church services as part of a series of projects designed to foster better understanding between science and faith. CofE vicars in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire will tour laboratories with Christian science professionals, while scientists address Sunday services and church discussion forums on science and faith. ‘Take Your Vicar to the Lab’ is one of eight projects helping churchgoers engage confidently with science, raising the profile of Christians whose vocation is science-related, and changing the debate about science and faith in churches and communities. There will be a science, medicine and technology festival at Ely Cathedral; café-style discussion evenings with students and science professionals in Baptist churches in Leeds; a family science and faith club at parishes in Oxfordshire; 100 scientific activities for Messy Church sessions; and booklets encouraging young people to explore the Isle of Man Cathedral gardens from a science and faith perspective.
