Hello to our new followers 👋
At ECLAS we're dedicated to helping senior Church leaders engage with science and scientists, to support mission and ministry in the 21st century.
Watch our short film to see how we do this.

A prestigious national award & fantastic opportunity for the town to engage in dialogue around Christianity and science. Grateful to @eclasproject for funding & supporting our project. We’d love to see @IndWalsall & @WalsallCouncil get behind it & promote to the wider community

Last week we heard from three fascinating speakers on ocean plastics and theology.

The clear message was that there is no silver bullet solution to this problem - but there are things Christians CAN do to help.

@JimTrood and I are delighted that ECLAS is funding our project, Embodied Faith: How does God meet us in body?
We are excited to develop this work in Walsall and open up new conversations about how Christianity and science enrich one another.

Our next online seminar is on 'Complexity at the Mesoscale' with Dr Miro Cafolla.

Often we consider complexity in very small or very large systems, but Miro will focus on the intermediate scale - this should be a fascinating talk!

Thurs 21 May 9-10am.

"In science and religion, titles imply a preferred way of imagining the relationship between the two central objects of interest.

If fiction titles reveal genre expectations, scholarly titles may reveal how a field imagines itself."
