The McDonald Centre 2024 Annual Conference – The Public Legitimacy of the Church of England.
The McDonald Centre 2024 Annual Conference – The Public Legitimacy of the Church of England.
Pusey House: Chapel, Oxford, OX1 3LZ
Mon 10th June 2024 9:30AM
Within our contemporary moment, the public legitimacy of the Church of England in England’s life and in the United Kingdom’s constitution and political life is being newly explored and questioned, inspiring multiple and complex responses. The recent death of HM Queen Elizabeth II and Coronation of Charles III in May 2023 have brought to the surface some aspects of these concerns.
Presented by The McDonald Centre for Theology, Ethics and Public Life in partnership with the Centre for Cultural Witness based at Lambeth Palace, and hosted at Pusey House, Oxford the Conference brings together an exciting array of speakers from a variety of backgrounds to bring their insights to bear on the past and future of the establishment of the Church of England. The conference brings a focused set of contemporary questions about loyalty, mission, place, ecumenism and inter-faith relations, into conversation with the theology, political thought and history which lie behind the Church of England’s public role.
Confirmed speakers include:
Tom Holland, historian and host of the popular podcast The Rest Is History.
Eleanor Sanderson, Anglican Bishop of Hull.
Andrew Rumsey, Anglican Bishop of Ramsbury.
Graham Tomlin, Director of the Centre for Cultural Witness.
Jonathan Chaplin, Divinity Faculty member, University of Cambridge, author of Beyond Establishment.
