New College Lectures 2012: JKAS in Australia
I’m honored to announce that I’ll be delivering the 2012 New College Lectures at the University of New South Wales in Sydney this coming May. The gracious invitation to give the lectures immediately brought to mind Stanley Hauerwas’ powerful little book, After Christendom, as I remembered that it had begun its life as the New College Lectures in 1990. Other previous lecturers have included John Polkinghorne, Elaine Storkey, Oliver O’Donovan, Trevor Hart, Jeremy Begbie, and many others. I’m grateful to be able to contribute to this tradition. And as a Canadian, I’m looking forward to seeing another corner of the Commonwealth.
The theme of my lectures will be Imagining the Kingdom: On Christian Action an will include a one-day conference on Anglican education, picking up and extending themes developed in Desiring the Kingdom. Lectures will be May 23 and 24 with the conference on May 26.
