Will a new initiative to teach science at divinity schools train better ministers?

The American Association for the Advancement of Science is offering two-year grants to ten seminaries that incorporate more science into the teaching of theology and religious studies. The effort raises debate about the age-old tension between science and religion, but the purpose of the project is to educate more effective ministers and religious thinkers.
