Hyde's MP Jonathan Reynolds has toasted the arrival of the Whit Friday Brass Band Contests in the town by leading Rivington Band in as they perform. The event is firmly in full swing now.

Next month we are holding a public panel discussion in #Manchester on extinction, evolution, action and hope. A time to ask questions, reflect together, and leave equipped and inspired. It’s free to attend, and we’d love to see you there. eclasproject.org/extinctionpanel

1/2 How do you have faith in space? From the Protestant Space Crusade to Bibles on the Moon, astronauts have a history of taking faith to space. As humans look towards Mars, the role of religion beyond Earth is still being shaped. eclas.shorthandstories.com/pentecost/new-… #ScienceFaithStories

How does science help people agree whether a miracle has happened? From Aquinas to Pope Pius X, Catholics have a long history of supporting the scientific study of miracles, helping us to recognise divine action. Please share: eclas.shorthandstories.com/pentecost/maki… #ScienceFaithStories

Sam Robinson (yes! @SamHistSci @HistOcean ) to speak at the DEEPMED group on Wednesday 24/4 at 12 (CET) on Paper Empire": Hydrography and the Composition of British South Atlantic Oceanic Imperialism 1923- 1939. Who could miss such an event??!! grupo.us.es/deepmed/en/new…

1/2 How Do Plants Teach Us? Celtic Christians had a deep spiritual connection with green and growing things. By studying these communities & the plants they listened to, we can learn about humanity’s place in Creation. shorturl.at/dgyE3 #ScienceFaithStories

I'm really excited about this new initiative with @eclasproject!! We're looking for feedback! So I'd love your thoughts ✨️ #ScienceFaithStories

Looking for a quick read on histories of science and religion? Check out our new project on science-faith stories. We hope you enjoy this new resource, a new story will launch each week for the next six weeks. #ScienceFaithStories

"Test samples taken from Canterbury and Rochester Cathedrals have so far revealed a rich deposit of micrometeorites." Fascinating - a #ScientistsInCongregations project waiting to happen, we think!

We are so proud to introduce our latest #ScienceForSeminaries awardees! They will cover science-engaged theology in a range of courses and activities, equipping students for ministry in an age of science. @bghamccoll @CardiffBapCol @CBSOxford @RegentsOx @tcddublin

Unfortunately, this event is sold out. I am speaking on ocean science diplomacy and ocean governance this Wednesday 21st Feb in Brussels. For more information on speakers see here; uib.no/en/research/16…

Reminder that you have until Friday (16th) this week to submit a proposal for £500 towards the costs of hosting a workshop this summer.

@jon_agar Considering nukes and submarine files have historically always been retained, this could be very interesting!

Vote for a file! I’ll tell you what’s in the winner

I’ve been looking through the list of files released at the National Archives in December 2023. Lots of new Blair-era PREM files, as you’d expect. Below are four more curious ones. Which one shall I open up and share here? Vote follows…
