CiS Development Officer: Applications Now Closed

 

Following the award of a grant from the John Templeton Foundation, we are seeking to appoint a full time Development Officer. The appointee will expand our work in universities, workplaces and churches and enhance the role of local groups.

 

The position is funded for three years and the salary will be in the region of £25k p.a. depending on qualifications and experience. A background in science is essential, along with an appreciation of science-faith issues. The post would suit a recent science PhD or someone with several years experience since graduating with a first degree in a scientific subject.

 

Full details may be obtained from Dr Diana Briggs or for an informal discussion, contact Professor Keith Fox (tel. 023 8059 4374). Applications should be sent to Diana Briggs and should include a CV with details of three referees. Applications should be submitted by March 7th, 2010, and we intend to interview at the end of March.

Article about evolution by Rev Melvin Tinker in Evangelicals Now


Test of FAITH: These resources for churches from the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion are now available. In addition versions for schools and also youth groups are now available.   


 Creation the Movie

This film, due for release in the UK on 25th September 2009, is an adaptation of Randal Keynes’ book Annies’s Box: Charles Darwin his Daughter and Human Evolution. It raises issues of the relationship of science and faith in general and evolution and creation in particular, in the context of suffering. The Damaris Trust has produced resource material for churches to explore many of these issues, including looking at Creation from a Young Earth, Intelligent Design and a Theistic Evolution perspective. These could be of use to house groups or local groups in their own right or as a prelude to running a Test of FAITH course (see above).
