On Wednesday, March 2, 2016, Father Andrew Louth, Professor Em. at Durham University and renowned theologian, visited the Project SOW team at the Institute of Historical Research/National Research Foundation.
We took the opportunity to update Father Andrew on the project's details, after which a wonderful discussion followed.
Members of SOW team asked Fr Andrew's opinion about various issues concerning science and religion, and in turn he commented on the differences between Western and Orthodox responses to Science, as well as the importance of the Patristic and Byzantine Orthodox tradition today. He also gave a brief overview of the science & religion dialog in Russia, mentioning the contribution of Andrew Florensky and other prominent Russian scholars.
