CAKE is the network for UK-based science-Christianity public engagement people and organisations.
CAKE is organised by Christians in Science to bring these together for fellowship, encouragement and mutual practical support. Each group listed below has their own speciality and flavour, but we work together with the aim to provide the Church with excellent quality resources around science to aid discipleship and mission. We meet regularly online for fellowship and support. Cake related chat and eating is not always necessary, but encouraged.
If you would like to join the network please get in touch.
Believing Science
Believing Science has a focus on both Church and community work and seeks to use science to bring the two together.
We provide hands-on science experiences and access to science shows for communities not typically reached by them, especially through our Science Wonder Days programme. We also provide science based teaching and event support for churches.
The Faith Experiment
The Faith Experiment runs interactive family-friendly programmes of up to 7 sessions, around science and Christian belief, breaking down misconceptions and encouraging curiosity. The programme is run by Matt and Davinder Gardner, who are registered clinical scientists working in the NHS.
Faraday Kids, Teens and Education
The Faraday Institute works to equip and inspire children, young people and their influencers to engage with big questions of science and faith.
We encourage and support exploration of these questions through printed and digital resources, interactive sessions and training for speakers, teachers, church workers and other influencers.

Equipping Christian Leadership in an Age of Science

We host conferences for senior leaders and give grants to congregations and seminaries to run science projects and programmes.
