ISCAST - Christians in Science and Technology
iscast.org
Aims
ISCAST is the oldest and largest Science and Religion organisation in Australia, having been established under the ISCAST name in 1987. It is a network of people, from students to distinguished academics, exploring the interface of science, technology, and Christian faith.
ISCAST’s Mission is to develop and advocate a Christian perspective in the science-religion dialogue within the science community, the Christian community and society generally in the Australasian and international communities.
ISCAST is committed to the need for scientific and Christian thinking to be integrated into the daily lives of those Christians working within the various sciences, and in the lives of clergy, theologians and indeed all Christians, who find themselves immersed in the modern technoscientific world.
