On Tuesday, November 8, 2016, Prof. Emer. of Oxford University John Hedley Brooke delivered the annual lecture dedicated to one of the founders of the National Hellenic Research Foundation, K.Th. Dimaras. The title of the lecture was "Darwinism and the Survival of Religion". The lecture took place at the auditorium of the National Hellenic Research Foundation in Athens, Greece.
The major aim of Project SOW is to chart a previously unknown field: the views and positions on the relations between Science and religion in the entire Orthodox Christian world, and thus setting the foundations for an organized and advanced dialogue between Science and Orthodoxy, creating a network of scholars from various fields and traditions. This dialogue is to be related with the relevant dialog in West Christianity creating a fruitful interaction.
On Tuesday, September 27, 2017, Dr Efthymios Nicolaidis, Director of Project SOW, was received by his All Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew at the Patriarchate in Istanbul. The meeting was also attended by Professor Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu, former President of the International Union of History of Science and Technology, Koyré medal of History of Science, former Secretary General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and Deputy of the Turkish parliament.

Του Γεωργίου Μέσκου, Δρος Θεολογίας
Όταν σκεπτόμαστε τον διάλογο της όποιας θρησκείας, ή ακριβέστερα της αντίστοιχης θεολογίας της, με την επιστήμη είναι αναγκαίο να απαντήσουμε σε ένα κεντρικό ερώτημα: ποιους αφορά αυτός ο διάλογος. Χαριτολογώντας μπορούμε να αναρωτηθούμε, άρα υπάρχει κάποια κυρία επιστήμη η οποία συζητά με κάποια κυρία θρησκεία ή θεολογία; Το ερώτημα δεν είναι τόσο αφελές όσο φαίνεται εκ πρώτης όψεως. Και αυτό γιατί αν δεν ορισθούν με σαφήνεια τα δύο μέρη της σχέσης, τότε ο καθένας δίνει ένα δικό του νόημα στις λέξεις και οδηγεί την συζήτηση εκεί που εκ των προτέρων θέλει. Στην περίπτωση αυτή, που είναι εξαιρετικά συνήθης, δεν έχουμε διάλογο αλλά παράλληλους και ασύμπτωτους μονολόγους που μάλλον δεν παρουσιάζουν ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον.

What a human “is” has probably been debated for as long as humans have had critical self-consciousness. Scholars in this debate have also long claimed that if someone uses the “wrong” definition of a human, they will treat people less humanely.
