Edinburgh
The Edinburgh group is a mix of scientists and interested non-scientists from many different disciplines and backgrounds. We meet somewhat irregularly and have hosted the Northern Conference in recent years.
Edinburgh is fortunate to be blessed with many other events and local organisations that discuss aspects of the science-faith conversation and details of these events are circulated around a local mailing list along with CiS events and news.
Next Event:

Speaker: Rev. Dr. Rodney Holder
Date: 7.30pm, 1st March 2012
Venue: The Studio, Augustine United Church, 41 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1EL
