The Metanexus Institute advances research, education and outreach on the
constructive engagement of science and religion. We seek to create an
enduring intellectual and social movement by collaborating with persons
and communities from diverse religious traditions and scientific
disciplines. In a spirit of humility and with a deep concern for
intellectual rigor, the Metanexus Institute promotes a balanced and
exploratory dialogue between science and religion. While mindful of the
complexities of this endeavor, we work to develop integrative approaches
that enrich the domains of both science and religion.
