Gypsies, Travellers, and Jesus: An Introduction with Revd Dr Steven Horne
November 14 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Gypsies, Travellers, and Jesus: An Introduction with the Reverend Dr Steven Horne
Thursday, 14 November ’24 10am – 11:30am, online
Gypsies and Travellers are not ‘the other’, they are you and me – often hidden, frequently maligned, always marginalised, seldom understood.
Join Rev’d Dr Steven Horne for an introduction to ‘Traveller Theology’, learn more about one of our nation’s most vulnerable groups, explore a culture rooted in hundreds of years of Christian heritage, and find out best practices for inclusion of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people in your church.
The Reverend Dr Steven Horne is the first person of Romany Gypsy heritage in the UK to earn a PhD in theology (2020), the first to sit on the Archbishop’s CMEAC (Centre for minority, ethnic, Anglican concerns), and in 2022, Horne authored ‘Gypsies and Jesus: A Traveller Theology’ (DLT Books), the first ‘Traveller theology’.
Horne has lectured in the US, Europe and the UK, and has regular involvement with the BBC, the CofE’s Racial Justice Unit and other key stakeholders in both the media and public sphere. In June 2024, he was ordained in Canterbury Cathedral by Archbishop Justin Welby, and is currently serving his curacy & community in the Ashford Town Parish in the Diocese of Canterbury, where he lives with his family.
