We are happy to announce a webinar that will take place on February 1st, 5 pm EST with the title “The Anglican Tradition from a Postcolonial Perspective”. This webinar organised in collaboration with Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute will be an ecumenical conversation with Kwok Pui-lan, Dean’s Professor of Systematic Theology at Candler School of Theology, Emory University.
Professor Kwok Pui-lan’s most recent book, The Anglican Tradition from a Postcolonial Perspective(Seabury, 2023) focuses on voices in the global Anglican communion that challenge the colonialism, racism, and Eurocentrism of the dominant Anglican tradition. Her analysis points the way toward decolonization on a number of fronts, including economic justice, gender equality, human sexuality, women’s leadership, diversity in worship, and the mission of the church in a world of religious pluralism.
Join Professor Kwok and a distinguished panel of theologians from several other global Christian traditions as they discuss the book and its implications not just for the Anglican tradition, but for all churches of the world.
