| The
International Association for Science and Religion in
Schools (IASRS). The Association has been launched at
two conferences, the ESSSAT and SRForum Conference at
Edinburgh in April 2010 and the EFTRE Conference in
Bruges in August 2010.
A considerable interest has already been shown in the
‘science and religion debate’ at school
level. The world’s first project in this area
was the ‘Science and Religion in Schools Project’
based in the UK which started in 2002 and was supported
financially by the John Templeton Foundation. Details
of this project are to be found on this website. Since
then three other projects have been developed in the
UK (see the links bellow). The sharing of information
and experience is extremely valuable in this area, as
for many others. The Directors of the SRS Project have
therefore decided to allow its materials to be used
by other such projects round the world without charge,
provided that permission is sought and that acknowledgement
is given when the materials are quoted.
There
are two ways in which those interested in this subject
can benefit from the Association. An individual who
is interested can simply register on the site at (ref)
so that he or she can be kept informed about developments
in the debate in schools round the world and be notified
about relevant conferences. Secondly, and very importantly,
it is hoped that all science and religion in schools
projects, where ever they are based, will link their
website with ours.

The
Bicentenary of Charles Darwin's birth, 12th
February 1809, and the 150th anniversary of
the publication of 'On the Origin of Species',
24th November 1859, ensured that the Science
and Religion debate continues to have a high
profile.
In
2011 teachers of both Religious Education and
Science should continue to encourage open minded
and informed debate on the important issues
involved.
