Prideaux Lecture & Clergy Workshop: Imago Dei, Political Economy, and the Commons
Join Professor Luke Bretherton, Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology, University of Oxford on 27 and 28 February for a fascinating lecture and workshop on the theme of Imago Dei, Political Economy, and the Commons.
Lecture – Friday 27 February at 6:30pm, drinks reception from 6pm
University of Exeter, Streatham Campus, Newman Purple Lecture Room
The lecture argues that recovering the social practice of the commons offers both a theological and practical framework for addressing today’s intertwined ecological and political crises. By reclaiming the commons—from parish gardens to digital networks and crown lands—we can cultivate forms of integral ecology that honour the dignity of persons, renew creation, and re-imagine institutions capable of sustaining a humane, hopeful, and democratic future.
Please register at least 48 hours in advance if you wish to attend online.
