Our Mission
WesleyNexus was created in 2009 as a nonprofit organization dedicated to the dissemination of sound information on the dialogue between science and religion within the Wesleyan tradition in the 21st century.
WesleyNexus emerged from the dialogue among a core group of dedicated clergy, academics, and lay persons in greater Washington, D.C. This group now seeks to support others who share the conviction that science, religion, and theology should not be mutually exclusive. Instead, each field should inform the other on a whole array of contemporary issues. As Albert Einstein stated (“Science and Religion” Symposium, 1941, p. 46),
“Science without Religion is Lame, Religion without Science is Blind”
Science and Religion Resources
The WesleyNexus web site is designed to provide resources to individuals and groups who are interested in science and share the heritage of John Wesley as part of their faith tradition. The goal is to build an understanding of how science, religion, and theology can better inform one another among a growing online community.
Visitors at the WesleyNexus web site are encouraged to download resources for their own needs in addressing the dialogue between science and religion. Feedback regarding any resource will always be welcomed and appreciated. WesleyNexus is dedicated to providing resources for individuals and groups within the Wesleyan tradition to further knowledge and understanding in both science and religion. We encourage people to download and utilize these resources for their needs and appreciate any feedback other usefulness
Science and Religion Discussions
Through all of its online activities, WesleyNexus endeavors to broaden a growing dialogue among thoughtful persons of faith who take science seriously. We believe this will result in a rich and diverse conversation that will encourage growth in faith among all participants. In this dialogue, we expect a deep respect from and for all persons holding different positions on a myriad of matters both simple and complex. There will not be a doctrinal or theological litmus test imposed on any participant.
