The alliance of experts from the disciplines of science, theology and philosophy that form the International STOQ Project provokes a renewal of thinking about God and man, creation and providence. We challenge the public perception that there is a conflict between the Church tradition and science, and prove the compatibility of faith and reason in the pursuit of knowledge.
The purpose of STOQ is to promote and conduct an interdisciplinary dialogue in order to build a culture that promotes the full dignity of humanity. Our mission is to build a bridge between science and theology and challenge the growing ideology of secularism in modern society.
We conduct study through joint research projects, conferences, courses and programs. These are held in Rome at one of the Pontifical universities in the alliance, or in North America at the John J. Reilly Center of the University of Notre Dame. We continually inform the public, thought leaders and opinion makers through publications, public relations and media resources of the STOQ Network.
