#46 Why teach science in seminaries? - with Revd Dr Lucas Mix & Revd Dr Katy Hinman

It may sound like a strange idea to teach science in seminaries. But after recording this episode, it made much more sense to the hosts! Lucas Mix (ECLAS) and Katy Hinman (AAAS) help run help run ECLAS’ ‘Science for Seminaries’ programme, in which future pastors, priests, and church leaders get to learn what it’s like to engage in science and with scientists. We discuss questions like:

• Why do people turn to their religious leaders for advice on scientific questions?
• Why has there been justified suspicion of science from minority ethnic groups, and what do we do about it?
• What might Science for Seminaries look like in the future?
