Faith Lecture Series Continues at York Minster

|PIC1|The fourth Ebor lecture will take place in York Minster on Wednesday 7th February and is set to address the place of the Bible in the Modern World.

The Ebor Lecture series has been jointly organised by York Minster, York St John University, The York Institute for Community Theology, The Carmelites and The Churches Regional Commission for Yorkshire and the Humber.

The joint venture attempts to relate theology with public issues in contemporary society. It also acts as an ecumenical project, which wishes to build bridges between various faith communities. These lectures relate faith to public issues such as politics, economics, contemporary culture and spirituality.

Wednesday's lecture will be given by the Rev Professor Frances Young, former head of theology at the University of Birmingham.

The title of the lecture is 'Sacred Text and the Transcendence of Tradition: The Bible in a pluralist Society'.

This lecture follows three previous lectures, which covered a range of topics including Islam in the modern world and God and our public life.

The lecture will start at 7:30pm and admission is free by ticket only.
