Jesus: Divine, Christ or both? - Public Theology Lecture by Revd Jonathan Clatworthy

Occuring
for 1 hour, 30 mins
Venue
St Bride's
Address
Percy Street Liverpool, L8 7LT, United Kingdom

Traditional accounts of Christ, as in the Creeds, are usually based on church councils of the fourth and fifth centuries. Many Christians now find them unconvincing. Meanwhile Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and feminists are often attracted by what they know of Jesus but repelled by claims that the divinity of Christ makes Christianity the only true faith.

It is a delight to welcome back a dear and long standing friend of St Bride’s, Jonathan Clatworthy, to give this lecture as he describe the new book

What Christ? Whose Christ? New Options for Old Theories.

Ask your questions, share your thoughts and see what other people think.

Jonathan lived in Liverpool with his wife Marguerite for over 20 years before moving to Yorkshire to be closer to his family. He is a retired vicar, university chaplain and tutor in Theology and Ethics. His co-editor, Alan Race, is an interfaith specialist.

This is a free event and no booking is required. Refreshments served from 5.30pm and there is parking available in the church grounds.

St Bride's

St Bride’s is the Church of England’s Parish Church for the University and Canning area of Liverpool. We are committed to a vision of faith which is creative in worship, progressive in thought and inclusive of everyone. We’re offering something radically different from most mainstream churches. Come and join us!

We meet for worship every Sunday at 10am except on the last Sunday of the month which is a joint service rotating around the churches in our team. In March this will be at St Michael in the City at 11.15am; in April here at St Bride's as usual (with our Annual Meeting); and in May at St Dunstan's at 10am.

We also have a rotating programme of evening services. Please sign up for our e-news using the button at the bottom of our website homepage to be kept up to date: St Bride's Liverpool (stbridesliverpool.org.uk)

Weddings, Christenings and Funerals can be booked here when the church is not in use by other groups, and can also be hosted at our sister church St Dunstan's, so please do get in touch  if you would like to arrange one of these - either come along to a service and say hello, or email [email protected].

The church can be booked for regular groups or some one-off events; please be in touch with our bookings administrator Jackie on [email protected] to enquire about a booking. Please leave plenty of time for bookings!
