1. New College Lectures 2011: Theology and the Future
What Christians believe about God should influence how they understand the past, live within the present and contemplate the future. This year the New College Lectures will address the theme ‘Theology and the Future’, and each will be followed by a discussant’s response and question time.
Before the first of these lectures from 6.00-7:15pm on Tuesday 27th September, we would be delighted if you could join us for drinks and canapés. This pre-lecture event will be held at New College Village (across Anzac Pde from New College, next to NIDA). Following this informal event we will walk to the lecture which will be held in the Main Common Room of New College, UNSW.
