Dr Andrew Torrance will be making trips around Scotland to talk to people about proposing projects up until the due date. If you are at all interested in putting forward a proposal, please do not hesitate to contact us via the contact form.
Call for Proposals Announced
Scientists in Congregations Scotland is calling for churches across Scotland to propose projects that will generate a deeper level of conversation between scientists, clergy and congregations about questions of faith and science.
The programme is looking to support around fifteen churches in Scotland, from a range of denominations, to develop (just under) two-year projects that will excite and facilitate constructive engagement between the church and the scientific world.
In addition, the programme will host major conferences that will bring together church-leaders and scientists from all over Scotland to engage with world-leading figures in the dialogue between faith and science.
The application process is straightforward and all the details of the grant can be found in the Request for Proposals document.
