• Evan Cockshaw <evan@psalm19.org.uk>, I am a curate in Horncastle, Lincolnshire. My first degree was in Physics with Astrophysics. When I trained for ordination I studied for an MA which I received with distinction. My thesis for that was "Arguments for the existence of God in the light of the new physics." In my final year I progressed onto post graduate research with a thesis title of "what might theology learn from the morphology of scientific models." this is the research I am now engaged in one day per week at the genreous permission of my parish. It is MPhil level. My thesis structure will primarily be a comparison of the work of Thomas Torrance and John Polkinghorne. I am currently majoring on Polkinghorne's work.
