We invite you to participate in a series of interactive seminars with Dr Jonathan Chaplin, Associate Fellow at the British public theology think tank Theos, a member of the Cambridge Divinity Faculty and former Director of the Kirby Laing Institute for Christian Ethics. He has recently published “Faith in Democracy: Framing a politics of deep diversity” (SCM Press, 2021), a discussion of how religious citizens can participate in society with integrity, and how secularism needs to recognise its own faith commitments which seek to exclude those of other faiths. Chaplin seeks to present a vision for how those of various (and conflicting) commitments can find a way of life together which does justice to everyone and allow for expression in public life of the many and varied faith convictions which make up today’s pluralist society.
Schedule:
Thursday 30 September “Why Faith in Democracy?”
Thursday 14 October, “Christianity and Secularism”
Thursday 28 October “Political Engagement by Faith Communities
8.00 am UK time

Thanks so much for promoting this Steve. Jonathan Chaplin has a tremendous grasp of politics from a Christian perspective. Well worth coming along to the webinars.
