The present Covid-19 pandemic has been the cause of massive social, economic, and religious dislocation. Its longer-term implications remain unclear. At this difficult time, theologians have a responsibility to draw upon the sources of our faith to provide insights from our religious traditions from which people both inside and outside the church may draw hope and meaning.
The Conference, Theologising in the Shadow of a Pandemic, organised by the SCD Theology Research Network is on 18 -19 February 2022. It is expected to be a face-to-face conference held at the Sydney College of Divinity. Registration is open.
Organisers:
- Assoc Prof Doru Costache, Sy Cyril’s Coptic Orthodox Theological College
- Dr Xavier Lakshmanan, Australian College of Christian Studies
- Assoc Prof Peter Laughlin, Australian College of Ministries
- Prof Neil Ormerod, SCD Research Office
