SUMMARY:Northey Lecture "Faith in Protest"
DESCRIPTION:NL PILGRIM Faith in Protest Flyer \nFREE PUBLIC LECTURE ON FAITH\, RACISM\, AND PROTEST. \nIn 1969\, the World Council of Churches launched its controversial Programme to Combat Racism. Over the next two decades\, the programme funded and supported Civil Rights activism in the USA\, anti-apartheid movements in South Africa\, and revolutionary groups in South America. What is less well known is that the programme made important contributions to anti-racist theologies and activism in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. \nUsing the work of the Programme to Combat Racism as a point of departure\, this lecture will explore the kinds of ideas and theological commitments that led New Zealand and Australian Christians to become involved in anti-racist activism in the 1970s and 1980s. Moreover\, it will suggest how this history can continue to provide valuable lessons for responding to racism and white supremacy today \nWHEN: Wednesday 2nd September\,  2pm (in person or online) \nWHERE: Centre for Theology and Ministry\, 29 College Crescent\, Parkville \nTICKETS: This is a free event\, but tickets required for catering purposes and zoom link.  Get your ticket here. \nMichael Mawson – Pilgrim Theological College \nAbout the speaker: \nMichael Mawson is a Pākehā (white) theologian and holds the Maclaurin Goodfellow Chair of Theological and Religious Studies at Waipapa Taumata Rau | University of Auckland. He previously worked at the United Theological College in Parramatta. Some of his recent books include Standing Under the Cross: Essays on Bonhoeffer’s Theology (2023) and\, with Brian Kolia\, Unsettling Theologies: Memory\, Identity and Place (2024).

SUMMARY:Annual Janette Gray RSM Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Save the date! Pilgrim is proud to be hosting the annual Janette Gray RSM Lecture on Friday 21 August 2026.  This year\, the lecture will be delivered by Dr Mary Kate Holman in celebration of the first decade of the Australian Collaborators in Feminist Theologies.  \nDr Mary Kate Holman is a scholar of contemporary Catholic theology. She holds a BA from Georgetown University\, an MTS from Boston College’s School of Theology and Ministry\, and a PhD from Fordham University. Prior to her arrival at Fairfield\, Dr. Holman was Assistant Professor of Theology at Benedictine University in the suburbs of Chicago. Dr. Holman’s teaching interests include Feminist Theology\, Ignatian Spirituality\, Vatican II\, and Spirituality & Social Justice.

She published an English translation of Chenu’s Saulchoir: A School of Theology with Joseph Komonchak in 2023. Dr. Holman’s writing has appeared in the Journal of Jesuit Higher Education\, Theological Studies\, and Commonweal. \nIn a time marked by intersecting crises\, narratives of disaster and nevertheless deep possibilities\, we invite fresh perspectives to enact and sustain hope and courage. \nWhere and why does hope flourish? What sustains commitment and resistance in times of trial? What space can be made for dissonance and dissent? How do people engage and encourage others of like mind and heart? What resources can we find in our contexts and traditions? How do communities cultivate creative practices of transformation? To what are we called? \nRegistration information to follow. \nNote\, this lecture also coincides with the launch of the 2027 ACFT Art Exhibition based on the theme of this years’ conference\, “Imagine Something Else: Communities\, Creativity\, Resistance”.

DESCRIPTION:Professor John Flett will be speaking at Theology on Tap in Carlton on Monday 13th May. John is the Professor of Intercultural Theology and Missiology at Pilgrim Theological College and will be talking about “why intercultural theology is the only future theology”. \nJohn holds a PhD from Princeton Theological Seminary where he undertook a ground-breaking examination of the history and theology of missio Dei\, later  published as The Witness of God (Eerdmans\, 2010). His Habilitationschrift\, undertaken at the Kirchliche Hochschule Wuppertal\, developed a critical account the church’s apostolicity\, understanding the embodiment of the faith in cultural difference as fundamental to the continuity of the faith through time. This appeared as Apostolicity: The Ecumenical Question in World Christian Perspective (IVP Academic\, 2016) and was recognised as one of the IBMR’s Ten Outstanding Books in Mission Studies\, World Christianity\, and Intercultural Theology of 2016. His most recent work (2020) with Henning Wrogemann\, titled Questions of Context: Reading a Century of German Mission Theology\, examined the range of ideas that underly the theories of contextualisation and the related consequences for local embodiments of the faith. \nTheology on Tap is an informal gathering for anyone who likes to discuss theology and related topics. It is organised by The Wesley Centre for Theology\, Ethics\, and Public Policy. \n7pm\, Monday 13th May at the Clyde Hotel in Carlton. \nAll are welcome\, but please RSVP through the event page on Facebook.
