NZCIS at the Maclaurin Chapel in Semester two

At NZCIS we integrate the two great articulate systems of our time, science and religion, and these discussions have an impact on our understanding of climate change, AI, evolution, the status of human beings, the nature of the cosmos and so on. We support and promote an holistic, evolutionary understanding of cosmic and biological history, in dialogue with and informed by Christian faith. We invite open dialogue and partnership with Mātauranga Māori and those of other faiths. And we seek to partner with all those working to heal the earth and to live more lightly on it.
Intergenerational Conversations

Intergenerational Conversations

The 2025 ISCAST–NZCIS Conversation Series introduces intergenerational dialogue. Each week, an experienced voice pairs with a younger scholar to explore the meeting point of science and Christian faith. Through personal and professional reflection, they’ll share shifting insights, before opening the floor for audience questions and lively, thought-provoking exchange.
