The original Boyle Lectures were given as a series of sermons at several churches in London and Westminster following their establishment in 1692. The ‘original Boyles’ lasted until about 1730, although sporadic later ‘Boyle Lectures’ continued to be given in the centuries since then. The lecture series was revived in 2004 at one of its original locations, the Wren church of St Mary-le-Bow on Cheapside in the City of London, where it continues to be hosted each year.
The International Society for Science and Religion was founded in 2002 under the guidance of Sir John Templeton to promote education through interdisciplinary learning and research in the field of science and religion, conducted in an international and multi-(non)faith context.
