An Invitation from Yale Divinity School
Yale Divinity School invites you to its annual Taylor Lectures, given this year by former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. The lectures are titled "The Claims of Solidarity: A Conversation in Theology and Ethics" and are spread over the course of three days: February 21, 22, and 23.
All three of the talks will be given at 5:30 p.m. in Marquand Chapel (409 Prospect Street). Free parking is available near YDS in the Betts House or Greenberg Center lots, as well as in Lot 14, Lot 15, and on nearby streets. Visit Yale's campus parking page to see the exact locations of these lots.
Rowan Williams is a Welsh Anglican bishop, theologian, and poet and was the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury. He is also Honorary Professor of Contemporary Christian Thought and former head of Magdalen College, Cambridge. Retired in Wales since 2020, he is the author of numerous books on theology, literature, and public affairs and several collections of poetry. Bishop Williams says of his Taylor Lectures, “Solidarity is a common theme in ethical discussion and plays a key role in modern Catholic social teaching. But what are the roots of this language? Does it seek to avoid necessary conflict and struggle, or does it offer a radical alternative to tribal and destructive social patterns? The lectures will treat these and other questions and suggest where we might look both for theological grounding and theological critique.”
