Hundreds of Oxford University students are finding out about Christianity.
For many this is a first-time experience at a series of special meetings hosted by the Oxford Inter-Collegiate Christian Union. Each day over 500 students are attending evening and lunchtime meetings where students are presented with a short Bible presentation, before opening the floor for questions.
Dr. Ard Louis, Reader in Theoretical Physics at the University of Oxford, gave a lecture titled ‘Outdated? Hasn’t science buried God?’ He commented: ‘Students at Oxford are discovering that science and faith are not opposed to one another and that it’s possible to be completely committed to scientific disciplines and be a Christian at the same time’.
