The International Society for Science and Religion (ISSR) is pleased to present the ISSR 2023 Boyle Lecture on Science and Religion Discussion with Prof Fraser Watts, Dr. Harris Wiseman, Revd Dr. Joanna Collicutt, Lord Williams, and Revd Prof Michael Reiss. There were even a few audience questions. The aim of these Discussions is to go beyond the Lecture and push the Lecturer to reflect on and engage with thoughts on or related to their Lecture.
What you are about to watch (or listen to) was recorded live after the YouTube Premiere of the Boyle Lecture on 23 March 2023, with the Boyle Lecture itself recorded on 13 February 2023 at St Mary-le-Bow Church in London. The Lecturer for 20230 (who was also the Respondent for Tom’s 2021 Lecture) was Lord Williams–Rowan on “Attending to Attention”.

The original Boyle Lectures were given as a series of sermons at several churches in London and Westminster following their establishment in 1692. The ‘original Boyles’ lasted until about 1730, although sporadic later ‘Boyle Lectures’ continued to be given in the centuries since then. The lecture series was revived in 2004 at one of its original locations, the Wren church of St Mary-le-Bow on Cheapside in the City of London, where it continues to take be hosted each year. We are grateful to St Mary-le-Bow the Rector, Revd George Bush, the Parish Council, and the Boyle Lecture Trustees for their continued support and guidance.
The first Live Discussion occurred in 2021 after the late Tom McLeish’s Boyle Lecture had to be put online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Attracting a large audience, Tom’s Lecture and Discussion helped cement the Lecture and this post-lecture discussion as an annual online feature of the Boyle Lectures and ISSR’s commitment to offering the public stimulating discussions on academic topics at the intersection of science and religion.
Prior Boyle Lectures before 2021 can be found on St Mary-le-Bow’s YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/stmarylebow
The International Society for Science and Religion was founded in 2002 for the promotion of education through interdisciplinary learning and research in the fields of science and religion, conducted in an international and multi-faith context.
