The Society for Christian Bioethicists exists as a forum for Christians and the wider academic community to discuss Christian Bioethics. The three aims of the Society are to support Christian bioethicists in their vocation, to promote the bioethical insights of Christianity within the academy, and to equip the wider church in its thinking about contemporary bioethical issues. As well as seeking to provide a forum for bioethicists to discuss Christian Bioethics, the Society also seeks to educate and aid Christians more generally in thinking about and responding to bioethical issues. In order to serve this aim with greater clarity and meaning, the Society is based on the foundational doctrines of Christianity as expressed in the Nicene Creed, and is ecumenical with respect to denomination. It is also committed to the historic Christian teaching on human dignity, namely, that all human beings are created in the Image of God and that human life is worthy of protection from conception.

The Centre for Christian Apologetics, Scholarship and Education (CASE) was established as a ministry of New College in 2002 by Prof Trevor Cairney. The CASE Centre aims to provide Christian commentary on social, intellectual and academic issues, and engage people of all persuasions in debate and discussion concerning contemporary issues of broad interest.  It does this through the CASE website, the Case Quarterly publication, regular comment by expert columnists, in-depth articles by local and international authors, occasional seminars, conferences, and the JustInCase blog.

The CASE Centre reaches well beyond traditional ‘defence’ apologetics, and seeks to encourage people to consider the claims of Christianity and bring a biblical perspective to all of life.We encourage you to explore their online archive. Subscribers to Ethicentre are eligible for a discounted subscription to Case Quarterly.
