Religion and Science Dialogue

The Rosalie Rendu Roundtable on Religion and Science is a dialogue group, which relates religious values and scientific advancements in the cause of social justice.

Members of the Roundtable are drawn from The Vincentian Fellows Program, faculty experts in service of the United Nations, local faith-based charities and healthcare organizations and others from this richly diverse metropolitan area.

World hunger and global health are the primary themes in the three-year cycle of the Roundtable commencing in January 2005. Bimonthly dialogue group meetings, semiannual invited public forums, and biennial conferences promote an ongoing active engagement among scientists, philosophers, theologians, clergy, and faith-based and other non-governmental development organizations.

This dialogue group hosted by St. John's University and located in the heart of the most ethnically and religiously diverse community in the U.S. is committed to the incorporation of multiple voices from communities based in the greater New York City region and beyond.
