COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
2020 Symposium - 16th May CANCELLED

We are sorry to announce that due to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Symposium planned for Saturday 16th May is now cancelled. We are looking into alternative ways of producing some material on the subject of 'The Christian Approach to Catastrophe' so do watch this space for more details. It would be VERY helpful if you were to sign up for our email list on this page so that we can stay in touch. We may need to convene a 'virtual' AGM and this would enable us to invite you to participate. 

Introduction

​'Faith and Thought' is the working name of the Victoria Institute.  
Since 1865, this has been a forum for those who wish to hold together Christian faith and advances in scientific knowledge. We seek to communicate these issues to the non-specialist.

Our journal Faith&Thought published twice a year, seeks to convey to non-specialists the pastoral and ethical implications of advances in science. It also contains the text of lectures from our Annual Symposium.
A full archive of back issues of Faith & Thought (and earlier publications of The Victoria Institute) are available online at BiblicalStudies.org.uk

Science and Christian Belief is published jointly with Christians in Science.
We occassionally publish other works.   A booklet on Scripture and Science by Prof Gerrit Blaauw has recently been added here

Officers must be evangelical Christians, but membership is open to those of all faiths or none.
