The John Templeton Foundation has recently funded a major new research project on the relationship between faith and science in contemporary Scottish churches. The Scientists in Congregations, Scotland, programme (SICS) will, over the period 2014-16, support around 15 church congregations across Scotland, from a range of denominations, to develop projects which will excite and facilitate constructive dialogue between faith and science, and engage with world-leading figures in this dialogue.
