Mark Heim is deeply involved in issues of religious pluralism, Christian ecumenism and the relation of theology and science.

He has taught and studied in India and lectured in China, Europe, Thailand and the Fiji Islands.
His course on the relation of science and theology won a Templeton Foundation award in 1998 as one of the 12 outstanding courses that have been developed in this field.
