Bishop elected president of ESSSAT
Bishop Antje Jackelén was on Saturday elected president of ESSSAT - The European Society for the Study of Science and Theology, an international member’s organization for theologians and scientists.
Science and theology are two forces that have shaped and impacted greatly on our culture. The dialogue between these areas of research is becoming increasingly important in a wide range of issues. The climate issue and hiv/aids are two current examples, says Antje Jackelén, who has a doctor’s degree in systematic theology focusing on the dialogue between science and religion.
Antje Jackelén, who previously has been on the board of ESSSAT, is the first woman to be elected president of the organization.
Every other year the organization hosts an international conference for scientists, theologians, philosophers, historians, etcetera, in order to deepen and develop the dialogue between different areas of research. Furthermore two series of books are published by ESSSAT.
Bishop Antje has published several books and articles on the subject of science and religion. A detailed description of the bishop’s published works can be found at the website, http://www.svenskakyrkan.se/default.aspx?di=35908&ptid=0.
