The International Society For Science And Religion

Fellowship of the Society has now grown to over 330 members, with the total Membership including Associates approaching 400. ISSR Fellows include many of the most prominent, leading scholars in the science and religion field. Indeed the first two presidents, George Ellis, a theoretical cosmologist and Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Cape Town, and the late John Polkinghorne, former Professor of mathematical physics and President of Queen’s College, Cambridge, are both recipients of the Templeton Prize for Progress Toward Research or Discoveries about Spiritual Realities – the world’s best-known religion prize, awarded each year to a living person to encourage and honour those who advance spiritual matters.
