Next month we are holding a public panel discussion in #Manchester on extinction, evolution, action and hope.
A time to ask questions, reflect together, and leave equipped and inspired.
It’s free to attend, and we’d love to see you there.

1/2 How do you have faith in space?
From the Protestant Space Crusade to Bibles on the Moon, astronauts have a history of taking faith to space.
As humans look towards Mars, the role of religion beyond Earth is still being shaped. eclas.shorthandstories.com/p…

How does science help people agree whether a miracle has happened?
From Aquinas to Pope Pius X, Catholics have a long history of supporting the scientific study of miracles, helping us to recognise divine action.

1/2 How Do Plants Teach Us?
Celtic Christians had a deep spiritual connection with green and growing things. By studying these communities & the plants they listened to, we can learn about humanity’s place in Creation.

For medieval Christians, calculating the church year wasn’t just a technical debate. It had immensely significant implications for the lived experience of faith, as well as for international politics and the history of science. eclas.shorthandstories.com/p…

"Test samples taken from Canterbury and Rochester Cathedrals have so far revealed a rich deposit of micrometeorites." Fascinating - a #ScientistsInCongregations project waiting to happen, we think!
