On Wednesday, 1 December 2021 at 1800 UTC, our partner, the Christian Academic Network (C-A-N), will host a discussion with Prof David Nash, a Professor in Mechanics and Materials, who will discuss an initiative in Scotland called Grasping the Nettle.
As a relatively recent organisation that formed in 2015, ‘Grasping the Nettle’ has brought together academics and church leaders to provide a form for the widest possible dialogue with regard to questions relating to science and faith. This has provided a forum bringing people together of all walks of life including the opportunity for academics to interface with church leaders where it otherwise may not have been possible.
Come and be inspired to hear about the journey of this initiative and perhaps take away some lessons learned that might be applicable to your context.
