Christians in Science (www.cis.org.uk) is a UK based international network concerned with the relationship between science and the Christian faith, open to scientists, teachers, students and all those with an interest in this dialogue. It is primarily a professional group, aimed at, but not limited to, Christians who work in science. It originated within UCCF: the Christian Unions (formerly IVF).

----------------------------------------

The purpose of this email group is to support the aims of CiS by allowing members to discuss issues related to the relationship between science and the Christian faith. Any member of CiS may join the group, as may any other person with a genuine interest in the relationship between the Christian faith and science.

The aims of CiS are:

To develop and promote biblical Christian views on the nature, scope and limitations of science, and on the changing interactions between science and faith.

To bring biblical Christian thought on scientific issues into the public arena.

To encourage Christians who are engaged in scientific work to maintain an active faith and to apply it in their professional lives.

To communicate the Christian gospel within the scientific community.

To stimulate responsible Christian attitudes and action towards care for the environment.

To help Christians who are science students to integrate their religious beliefs and their scientific studies.

All new members are moderated. When the moderation committee (that includes a CiS committee member) is satisfied that a new member is posting messages that comply with these guidelines, the member will be permitted to post unmoderated. Apologies if this sounds draconian, however we have had problems in the past.

Brief one off notices of relevant events are welcome.
