@eclasproject.bsky.socialWhat a rich, diverse, and stimulating few days we had at our Global Conference this week. Thank you to all who travelled to be there and generously shared their experiences and insights with us.
@eclasproject.bsky.socialWe are three days in to our Global Conference, bringing theologians and researchers from around the world together in Durham. We've heard about theological education in Indonesia, Africa, India and Poland, & been challenged to think about how science is understood differently in different contexts.
@eclasproject.bsky.socialJoin us on Monday 28 September for a webinar on faith, health, and how God is working through science.
In partnership with Keep the Faith magazine.
@eclasproject.bsky.socialThis is one of our Science for Seminaries projects, and it plays a hugely important role in resourcing theological education institutions on environmental issues. Spaces are limited!
@eclasproject.bsky.socialCalling early-career scientists, theologians, and ministry students!
The Elisha Project is a year-long initiative to integrate environmental science and ministry, for Christians with a passion for the natural world. It includes conferences and mentorship.

@eclasproject.bsky.socialThis Season of Creation, we're sharing the story of Sister Dorothy Stang, who lived - and died - for the Amazon rainforest and its people.
@eclasproject.bsky.socialChurchyard rewilding, coral reef loss, the rights of rivers.
Our six stories of science and faith for the Season of Creation celebrate the natural world, and ask what we owe it in return.
@eclasproject.bsky.socialWe've had an excellent two days at our Scientists in Congregations retreat, hearing about completed projects and planning for those about to start. Lots of exciting things happening all around the country!
