Celebrating 50 years of the Science and Religion Forum in 2025
The 2025 Anniversary conference celebrated 50 years of the Science and Religion Forum. The conference didn't ask whether science and religion can interact but how and where they are in dialogue. This included questions on the interaction of indigenous knowledge with science and technology, the role of religion in tackling global issues such as sustainability, and how questions of science-and-religion are addressed in education.
