Truth, faith and politics in a post-truth world: exploring Bonhoeffer today
Advertisement
In the final months of his imprisonment in Flossenbürg concentration camp in 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer looked beyond the walls of his cell—and beyond the walls of the Church itself—considering a way to speak of God that was not confined to religious insider language. What does that vision mean for us today?
Join us as Rowan Williams reflects upon how the Church can remain truthful in a post-truth world; how it can resist the urge to defend itself at every turn, and instead become a community that welcomes the unexpected. In a time of uncertainty, what does it mean to live with courage, integrity, and radical hospitality?
Dr Rowan Williams is a poet and theologian, and was the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury.
BSL interpretation will be provided at this event: please let us know if you require seats in the area reserved for this by emailing [email protected].
The event is free, but if you are able to make a donation to the continuing learning programme at St Paul’s Cathedral when you register for the event we would be very grateful.
