Zygon Center for Religion and Science
- Zygon Center for Religion and Science
The Zygon Center for Religion and Science is a non-profit organization housed at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago that is committed to the study of the interaction of religion and science. The center was founded in 1988 in continuing with the vision of Ralph Wendell Burhoe.
The first director of the center was Philip Hefner (1988-2003) who was succeeded by Antje Jackelén (2003-2007). Currently the center is headed by Gayle Woloschak.
The center hosts a yearly course entitled the "Epic of Creation", which brings scientists and religious scholars together to offer lectures on the origins of the universe. It also hosts a yearly seminar with changing topics entitled the "Advanced Seminar in Religion and Science."
The center has hosted many notable conferences, with speakers such as Wolfhart Pannenberg (2001), Arthur Peacocke, and Ursula Goodenough. Ian Barbour, one of the godfathers of religion and science study is a frequent guest also.
Although sharing a name and various scholars, the Zygon Journal is a separate entity from the center.
