Justice runs as a central theme throughout religion. We cannot deny, ignore, or escape this. Science, by contrast, is sometimes portrayed as standing apart: the numbers and the facts simply are what they are. If we scratch below the surface, however, we see that science is also intertwined with questions of justice; often able to […]

What next for the Church in an era of climate change, pollution and habitat destruction? Sessions are either hybrid or fully online and take place over five evenings spread through the 2024-25 academic year. This course will cover the latest theological perspectives, practical responses and resources available to us. Each session will have a small amount of material provided in advance to read, watch or listen to, so the meetings themselves can rapidly get to discussing key issues of interest to participants.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a groundbreaking technology capable of generating ideas and making autonomous decisions, raising significant questions about human identity and purpose—issues that religion has long explored.
This handbook aims to examine the relationship between AI, ethics, and faith, emphasising the importance of diverse faith perspectives in shaping the future of AI.

Around half of Britons now categorise themselves as having “No Religion”; these are colloquially known as ‘Nones’. But having no religion does not mean having no beliefs. It doesn’t even mean having no religious beliefs.
This report explores the demography, beliefs and practices of Nones and then presents a cluster analysis of this group. It shows that Nones comprise a complex and sometimes counter– intuitive group with, for example, only 51% of them stating they “don’t believe in God,” and 42% believing in some form of the supernatural.
