Page "John Polkinghorne" Paragraph 7

In 1997 he was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire ( KBE )-though since he is an ordained priest in the Church of England it is technically incorrect to call him " Sir John Polkinghorne ".

He was made an honorary fellow of St Chad's College, Durham and awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Durham in 1998 ; and in 2002 was awarded the Templeton Prize for his contributions to research at the interface between science and religion.
