ABOUT THE EBOR LECTURES

The Ebor Lectures in Theology and Public Life were established in 2006 in the northern English city of York. This prominent series of lectures, and related events, promotes a conversation between theology and public issues, offered free-of-charge to the general public. Theology is the systematic study of the nature of the Divine and of religious belief. The Ebor Lectures offer a space where theology can dialogue with a range of communities such as educational institutions, public interest groups, religious movements, secular society, and anyone with an interest in contemporary issues.

The Ebor Lectures series is an ecumenical project jointly sponsored and organised by York Minster, York St John University, The Order of Carmelites, The Yorkshire North and East District of the Methodist Church and The C. & J. B. Morrell Trust.
