Lincoln Lecture Series

 

How can social theology help us play our part in spiritual and civic renewal? 

Lincoln Cathedral is hosting a series of eight lectures over 2022 and 2023 on the theme of social theology – how God calls us to engage with the world, in terms of the economy, work, nature, freedom, social peace, politics and civic life. The lectures will draw on Catholic Social Teaching and Anglican Social Theology to explore how the Christian tradition can be a blessing to public life and discourse. 

The series will form a part of the wider Lincoln Cathedral Common Good Project, which frames the cathedral’s civic and social engagement in the coming years. The lectures will be held in person at the Cathedral, Minster Yard, Lincoln LN2 1PX, and shared on YouTube.

All welcome. Booking links below. Download flier here

The lecture programme will be complemented by a T4CG small groups course, which begins in the autumn with six sessions on The Word and the Common Good, which will be led by the Canon Chancellor, Dr Paul Overend. More information to follow in due course.

Together for the Common Good is delighted to be working in partnership with Lincoln Cathedral on this Project. Other partners involved include Caritas Nottingham, Bishop Grosseteste University and Lincoln Theology Network. T4CG’s involvement is supported by CCLA, one of the UK’s largest ethical fund managers.

Details of the first four lectures are set out below – more to follow in due course
