The Lambeth Conference 2020
2019-12-06 19:00 (Europe/London) | Chapter House, Truro Cathedral, 14 St Mary's Street , Truro, TR1 2AF, United Kingdom
The Lambeth Conference 2020: The Past and Future of the Anglican Communion
A Lecture by the Canon Theologian
With the Lambeth Conference of all the Bishops from the Anglican Communion coming up next summer, it seems like a good idea to look at the history of the Conference and, more importantly, about what it’s for nowadays and how it relates to the Church of England both nationally and locally. Since 1998 the Conference has revealed the huge and apparently irreconcilable tensions across the Communion over sexuality. Some are predicting that 2020 may even be the last Lambeth Conference! The Revd Professor Mark David Chapman, Canon Theologian at Truro Cathedral will nevertheless try to offer his own thoughts about plotting a route through the current difficulties – “we have after all solved apparently irreconcilable differences before and we can probably do so again.”
Friday 6th December, 7pm for a 7:30pm start.
£5 on the door in the Chapter House. For details see Colin Reid – 01872 276782.

Quiet Day at Home
2020-06-18 10:30 - 15:30 | Cornwall
Perhaps some of you are thinking that you have had too many of these recently, but since people cannot meet together for one of Degibna Prayer Chapel’s occasional Quiet Days, the Revd Andrew Hill would like to invite you to share in a Quiet Day at Home. This could be done on any convenient day, but if most people are able to use the same day, participants can be together in time if not in place.
June is Bible Month (www.preachweb.org/biblemonth) and this year people are encouraged to focus on the book of Ruth. What a wonderful focus for a Quiet Day! Mark Greene writes, “Ruth is one of those books whose riches never seem to run out. You can read it in 10 minutes and relish it for a lifetime.”
So please join with Degibna on Thursday, June 18 (or a day nearby) for this Quiet Day at Home, 10.30am – 3.30pm.
This is going to be a low-tech Quiet Day (no Zoom etc.) but couples can share in this together or, if you are on your own, you can arrange with a friend to phone between sessions and so share the experience. A simple sheet will be prepared with suggested timings, questions for reflection and suggestions how to use the quiet times. Please contact Revd Andrew Hill to register (Tel: 01326 569803 – email: andrew@aandbhill.plus.com) and he will email or post the information sheet. Unlimited numbers can apply!
If the day is successful, Degibna may consider offering an ‘at home’ version of future Quiet Days for those who cannot attend. Further resources can be found on their website: http://www.degibnaprayerchapel.org.uk/

How can we address religious inequalities in a post-Covid-19 transition?
2020-06-26 16:00 - 17:30 | Cornwall
Despite much of humanity being faced with one of its worst pandemics for over a century, Covid-19 has not been a great equaliser. Pre-existing vulnerabilities have been exposed and social, economic, gender and religious inequalities have been exacerbated. If we do not address these inequalities now, the situation could be dramatically worse for religious minorities around the world in the wake of Covid-19 and its manifold consequences.
So, what can be done? Join us online to hear from our international panel of experts and those experiencing the impacts of Covid-19 in Iraq, Nigeria and Pakistan.

Cuddesdon Summer School in Biblical & Theological Studies
2020-07-08 10:00 - 2020-07-09 12:00 | Cornwall
The opening words of Psalm 24 are well known: “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it,” and yet, humanity has historically treated the earth as if it was ours and ours alone to do with as we pleased. Christians have, sadly, often taken our dominion over the earth and other creatures as permission for exploitation. Both the Bible and the Christian tradition offer us an alternative vision for humanity’s relationship to the rest of creation, one of care, responsibility, and mutual flourishing that shows us that caring for creation is an act of praise honouring to God.
Humanity is now having an unprecedented impact on the natural world. How we care for our world is becoming an evermore pressing question. This Summer School will explore the themes of creation care found in scripture and tradition, and look at how a theology of creation care is being put into practice in different contexts.
