Ruth Bancewicz: Integrating Science and Faith

“I managed to divide myself in half. We can let our lives run on parallel tracks, and that is one way people deal with things. But it’s not healthy because the trains will collide.”  — Ruth Bancewicz

Science and faith professional Ruth Bancewicz joins us on the podcast to discuss the integration of faith and science and the way churches can help.

How does a scientist find space to express their faith within their research and teaching? Ruth Bancewicz joins us on the podcast in an interview with guest host and Women Scholars and Professionals Director Karen Guzman. Ruth and Karen sit down together to discuss Ruth’s work as a science and faith professional, serving as a thoughtful catalyst for integration at the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion at Cambridge University in England. Ruth describes her journey into this unique position and offers encouragement to women who are working toward more fully integrating their faith with their work life — and encountering struggles along the way. And if you listen to the end of the credits, you’ll hear a short passage from one of Ruth’s books entitled Wonders of the Living World. 

So jump right in! We're so glad you're here.
