Christians in Science (CiS) is a British organization of scientists, philosophers, theologians, ministers, teachers, and science students, predominantly evangelical Christians, concerned with the dialogue between Christianity and science. The organization was started in the 1940s as one of the professional groups of IVF (now UCCF), and was known as the Research Scientists' Christian Fellowship from 1950 until it adopted the current name in 1988. It has since become larger, and more influential. It is a British counterpart to the American Scientific Affiliation, but its theological diversity is broader.
It took on financial independence from UCCF in 1996. The organization has over 850 members, is a member of the Evangelical Alliance, and includes R. J. Berry and John T. Houghton as two of its more noteworthy members.
Along with the Victoria Institute, it publishes Science and Christian Belief twice yearly.
