Actually AAAS has a more extensive program of science-religion
engagement, including initiatives related to bioethics, environmental
concerns, and evolution. Those who are interested might contact Dr.Jim
Miller, the Senior Program Associate with AAAS (and an ordained
Presbyterian pastor - he was until recently campus pastor at the U. of
Pittsburgh) at jmiller@aaas.org. There is a brochure entitled "AAAS
Program of Dialogue between Science and Religion" which is available
from
