SCIENCE, RELIGION, AND CULTURE.

There are multiple ways of relating science and religion, arising from the fact that both science and religion can be understood in significantly different ways in different cultures and different contexts. The phrase "science and religion" has become widely used to denote a particular area of academic discussion. Yet again, multifaith work on science and religion can be used to enhance cross-cultural understanding between parts of the world where different faith traditions predominate. One of the founding hopes of the International Society for Science and Religion (ISSR) was that conducting the dialogue between science and religion on a multi-faith basis, in the aftermath of 9/11, would contribute to global peace and harmony between different faith traditions.
