Modern Church 2012 Annual Conference
By Whose Authority? An interfaith look at women and religious authority
Monday 16 July – Thursday 19 July 2012
at High Leigh Conference Centre
Conference Chair: Revd Dr Harriet Harris
University Chaplain, University of Edinburgh
We all step in and out of leadership, whatever our roles in life. We all need leadership to go well; we need to have the people who fit that role.
This conference will explore through talks, workshops, art and worship:
- the difference that ‘difference’ makes
- humility and ambition
- women as leaders in the early church
- old and new taboos
- change, loss and failure
- ‘leadership’ and ‘discipleship’ amongst the Anglican divines
- exemplars, and the art of conversation across faiths and cultures
There will opportunities to gain skills in personal presence, conflict resolution and authentic conversations; there will be the sharing of insights with people of diverse faiths.
The conference will be uniquely placed to respond to the moment that the Church of England approves legislation, or otherwise, for making women bishops.
Conference Secretary: Revd Clare Nicholson
