In 1992, a group of rebel doctors published a radical idea in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association. They argued that the practice of medicine needed to be transformed so that doctors didn’t rely on intuition and conventional wisdom, but on evidence from science – such as clinical trials showing whether a drug really worked. This was called “evidence-based medicine”, and the backlash against it was fierce.

We currently conduct a full worship service on the first Sunday of each month, and discuss a different short reading each of the remaining Sundays.
At 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, 18 October, we will open with a very brief service and chalice lighting, followed by our discussion. Robert Helfer will lead the service and discussion. We will be discussing evidence-based science, “If it feels like the world is rejecting science and truth, here are five ways to fight back” by Helen Pearson, The Guardian, 28 April 2026.
