The Arthur Peacocke Essay Prize 2009
In memory of its founding President and former Chairman, the Revd Dr Arthur Peacocke, the Forum proposes to award an annual prize to a student (undergraduate or post-graduate) registered at a UK university, and aged not more than 30 on the day that entries close, for an essay related to the theme of the Forum’s forthcoming annual conference.
The essay title will be drawn each year from
the writings of Dr Peacocke. In celebration of the 150 th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin’s world-changing book, The Origin of Species, the title for the 2009 essay prize is: “Evolution – The disguised friend of faith?”
