ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the relationship between faith and science. The strength and interest in Bruno Latour's work is that he shows how supposedly pure' science is constantly reacting with and encountering other spheres of human activity. Latour suggests that his theory of circulating reference is a way round the split between fact' and language'. The chapter examines a real example of how Latour's ideas can illuminate how science operates in practice and to see how this might be informative for a developing relationship between faith and science. It suggests that the encounter between faith and science is already a blurred one and that the type of deeper blurring enabled by encounters with philosophy, politics and psychoanalysis would be beneficial for both parties. The blurred encounters' adventure began with a crossing of boundaries between the practical and the theoretical.
