The Fellowship of Scientists The Fellowship of Scientists The Fellowship of Scientists is a group of scientists who seek to affirm the goodness of the created world, and our obligations as good stewards of that creation. Form of Practice Members undertake to read and reflect daily. This is possible when the universe is approached as contingent reality reflecting the grace and coherence of its creator, with colleagues valued as fellow witnesses, in a grateful acceptance of the leading of the Holy Spirit. Members are encouraged but not bound to make an annual retreat with other members.
Associate members share in the undertakings as fully as their circumstances permit.
It is the calling and the joy of all Christians to love God with all their minds, as well as with all their hearts and souls and strength. Just as continued practice and reflection feed their life-long growth as scientists, so also regular reading and thought allow the growth of deeper knowledge and understanding as Christians. The short selections in the handbook span many of the topics most salient to scientists seeking deeper understanding and a conscious union of their lives as Christians and scientists. The selections reflect the whole heritage of the church, and may serve as introductions to the longer works from which they are drawn. An annotated bibliography lists the sources of the selections and other works which may be helpful.
