Science and religion are two windows that people look through, trying to understand the big universe outside, trying to understand why we are here. The two windows give different views, but both look out at the same universe. Both views are one-sided, neither is complete. Both leave out essential features of the real world. And both are worthy of respect.
Freeman Dyson

The Ian Ramsey Centre
, founded in 1985 for the study of religious beliefs in relation to the sciences and medicine, is a part of the Theology Faculty in the University of Oxford. Its regular seminar series, open to graduate students and informed members of the public, brings together scientists, philosophers and theologians to explore interests they have in common.

The Centre also sponsors regional conferences to encourage new networks for examining connections between theology and the sciences; and through its international workshops it enhances the quality of courses on science and religion that are taught worldwide. Details of Conference 2009.

In addition, the Ian Ramsey Centre is involved in a new Cognition, Religion and Theology Project, for which we have been awarded a major research grant by the John Templeton Foundation.
