We are thrilled to be hosting Dr. Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury and one of the world’s most prominent theologians, for an event which promises to enrich our lives and church communities. Dr. Williams will be speaking on ‘The Learning Church: Theology and Christian Maturity.’
Dr. Williams’ presentation and subsequent Q&A/discussion will be online and open to all from 10:00am to 12:00pm ET. We will also be hosting an in-person event at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Boston from 9:30am to 2:30pm, as an opportunity to gather for worship, fellowship, and learning. Dr. Williams will join us virtually from his home in Wales.
The full day at the Cathedral will be a time to grow in community, learn with Dr. Williams and one another, and be resourced for the task of forming disciples in our congregations. After Dr. Williams’ presentation, we will have a Eucharist and lunch together, and an afternoon workshop on ‘Becoming the Learning Church Locally.’ During this time, we will have the opportunity to develop avenues faithfully to live together in our parishes and congregations, as people who seek to know and love God and our neighbors through maturity and discipleship.
The structure of the in-person event will be as follows:
9.30am those attending in-person arrive and register
10am Dr. Williams’ presentation
10.45am break
11am discussion/Q&A session with Dr. Williams
