Over this past year, I’ve been involved in producing a series of Science and Faith programmes for Radio Maria England. Radio Maria England is a Catholic radio station based in Cambridge and is part of the World Family of Radio Maria which has 86 branches around the world. One thing we’ve noticed so far in our Science and Faith series is how well our listeners respond to stories about the lives of great Catholic scientists. For instance, shortly after airing our episode on cosmology and the Belgian Catholic priest Fr Georges Lemaître, someone from an organisation called Equipping Christian Leadership in an Age of Science (ECLAS) contacted us saying he wanted to help us find the next Georges Lemaître. As a result of this conversation, we applied for and were awarded a generous ECLAS grant to fund our next Radio Maria Science and Faith series. Whether or not we succeed in finding the next Georges Lemaître, we hope we might at least inspire people to take an active interest in both their Catholic faith and in science. One can put forward good philosophical and theological reasons for why science and the Catholic faith can happily coexist, but nothing is quite as convincing as the testimony of someone who is highly gifted in science and who also has the gift of faith.
