Sunday 16 July 2023

Attendees enjoyed a reflective and celebratory Evensong service on 16 July at the beautiful St Paul's Cathedral to welcome a week of discussing genetics, genomics, and society at the International Congress of Genetics.  We celebrated the wonder of science and faith, with worship led by the Cathedral Choir, a sermon from Archbishop Philip Freier, prayers, and Scripture readings.  Archbishop Freier has supported science: faith dialogue.  In 2009 he spoke at another special service at the Cathedral, celebrating Charles Darwin’s 200th birth anniversary.  Among several other qualifications, the Archbishop holds a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Science.
