How stories shape futures: Faith, Science and Possibility

Wednesday 7 June 2023, 6.30PM

The stories we tell shape the decisions we make. This is especially clear when we tell stories about the future. Prophetic stories reveal truths about the here and now, even while pulling our eyes to the horizon.

Join us at the Science Museum in London as we explore possible futures and the way they impact current understanding and choices.

What role will science and faith play in the future? How might they fit together or fall apart?

With the Science Fiction exhibition as our background, we will gather senior church leaders with theologians, scientists and authors to explore these crucial stories and ask how they shape us.

  • Tickets for the public event cost £3.50.
