The nature of time has often puzzled the Western mind. Time seems to slip through our fingers; the present dissolves into the past and is lost, while the future is not yet. In this lecture we will explore the capacity of architecture to resist the elusiveness of time. Our experience of architecture will be interpreted both as an encounter with the past and as bringing the future into view. The resistance offered by architecture to the constant flux of time and to the relentless erasure of the present thus provides a basis for conceiving of time and history as the capacious realm of God’s creative, redemptive and transformative engagement with the world.The Rev Dr Murray Rae is Professor of Theology at the University of Otago. This lecture is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served before and after the talk.
