Article about evolution by Rev Melvin Tinker in Evangelicals Now

Test of FAITH: These resources for churches from the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion are now available   

 Creation the Movie

This film, due for release in the UK on 25^th September 2009, is an adaptation of Randal Keynes’ book Annies’s Box: Charles Darwin his Daughter and Human Evolution. It raises issues of the relationship of science and faith in general and evolution and creation in particular, in the context of suffering. The Damaris Trust has produced resource material for churches to explore many of these issues, including looking at Creation from a Young Earth, Intelligent Design and a Theistic Evolution perspective. These could be of use to house groups or local groups in their own right or as a prelude to running a Test of FAITH course (see above).
