The Tour
The relationship between science and faith is
often represented as a battleground. But are
science and Christianity really in conflict?
Bringing clarity to the science-faith debate. Scientists and
theologians unpack the key issues. Talk, Q&A and excerpts
from the award-winning 'Test of FAITH' documentary.
The Test of FAITH tour is open to anyone and everyone. We're aiming it primarily at the church leaders of today and those training to become the church leaders of the future. By church leaders we don't just mean vicars, we mean everyone from small group leaders and youth workers through to those involved in evangelism and outreach. If you don't fit those categories but have an interest in science and faith then feel free to come along too! And, please pass the message on to anyone else you think this might appeal to...
