Abstract:	The papers in this book were presented at an international conference organized on 26-28 May 2006 by the Dialogue in Religion and Science Group of Moi University (Kenya). The papers address the diversity in contemporary views of the relationship between religion and science in Africa. They are arranged into two parts: 1. The relationship between religion and science (papers on, amongst others, traditional religion and empirical science, the role of university education, the relevance of the relationship between religion and science to development, disasters as acts of God or acts of humanity, and population control and development); 2. Religion and health care in Africa (papers on indigenous medicine, AIDS, communication of health issues, promotion of pregnancy among childless couples, biotechnology and values, and counselling and health care of children).
