and Principal of St John's College, University of Durham.
His background is research in theoretical astrophysics,
where he gained a PhD in the study of star formation,
the chemical evolution of galaxies and terrestrial mass
extinctions. He is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical
Society and also holds a PhD in Systematic Theology.
The James Gregory lectures are a series of 12 public lectures by eminent national and international speakers held at the University of St Andrews over a 4-year period on a wide range of contemporary issues in Science and Religion. All the lectures are open for all without tickets or registering. “The basic aim is to encourage constructive and open dialogue and an exchange of ideas on many intriguing points of contact between Science and Religion. At this time of a rise of unhealthy fundamentalism, there is a need to increase understanding, so that we may be better informed about the nature of the scientific enterprise and of religious thought. Both Science and Religion have key insights about our human nature, our creativity and our possible future. |

(If you need a lift let Tom P know and one can be arranged.)” |
