John Henry Newman

Theologian for the Contemporary Church

Saturday 21 May 2011

Keynote speaker:  Bishop Geoffrey Rowell (Bishop of Gibralter in Europe)

Following the visit of Pope Benedict XVI in September this year, this conference will celebrate the widely acknowledged importance of Newman as a pastor, preacher, theologian, educationalist and spiritual writer who has much to say to all Christians today.

 Newman foresaw many of the challenges that face the contemporary Church , especially the atheistic attacks on faith to which he made a robust response. Newman also called for a spiritual renewal and a balanced theology of the church but in fact, there were few topics which he left untouched. The conference will provide an opportunity to explore a number of them.
