COSAC 2026: Entangled Worlds: seeking understanding through faith and science
Friday November 6, 2026

ISCAST’s 15th biennial Conference on Science and Christianity will be held in Melbourne from 6 to 8 November 2026 with online options for Saturday and Sunday sessions.
Scholars have long debated how science and faith meet. Some see them as fundamentally unintelligible to one another. Others see a deeply fruitful partnership where different approaches offer complementary insights into the nature of reality.
Today, new thinking is breathing fresh life into the field. Movements like “science-engaged theology” and work described as “after science and religion” are renewing the conversation, reexamining old assumptions to connect rigorous scholarship with the lived experiences of churches, professionals, and the wider community.
Whether you are a scholar, a church leader, an educator, or a curious layperson, COSAC 2026 invites you to reflect on enduring questions:
How does our faith inform our understanding of the natural world?
How can scientific discovery enrich the life of the church?
In a fractured world, how can we foster a dialogue that is intellectually serious, pastorally attentive, and publicly engaged?
