SUMMARY:R.T. Orr Lecture: A Workshop for Clergy, Church Leaders, and Theological Students
DESCRIPTION:Online via Zoom – A Workshop for Clergy, Church Leaders, and Theological Students\nWith Archdeacon Rosalyn Elm; registration required: Register Here\nThe Hospitality of Receiving: Reimagining Mission After Colonialism\nIn little-read addresses given by Mahatma Gandhi to Christian missionaries, Gandhi argues that his listeners come to India only to give but not to receive. Gandhi identifies this asymmetrical posture as wounding. To hold that India has nothing to give or teach is to demean. What is needed is a hospitality not only of giving but receiving marked by an open-heartedness that seeks to learn not just to teach. What Gandhi attributed to Christian missionaries in India holds also for Christian missions in North America. Therefore, Gandhi’s proposal should matter to Canadians as well.  In this workshop, Thatamanil will argue for a hospitality of receiving; there can be no escape from a colonial mindset without radically reconfiguring our understanding of hospitality.\nAbout the Rev. John Thatamanil, MDiv, PhD (Boston)\nProfessor of Theology & World Religions and Director of the Insight Project: Theology & Natural World at Union Theological Seminary in New York, Dr. Thatamanil is also Volunteer Priest Associate and Diocesan Theologian at the Anglican Church of St. John the Divine in Victoria, BC.  He is committed to the work of comparative theology—theology that learns from, and with, a variety of traditions. A central question that drives his work is, “How can Christian communities come to see religious diversity as a promise rather than as a problem?”\nA regular blogger for online publications, he has also published editorials in The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post.\nHe frequently preaches and lectures in churches and universities in the US and around the world.  Huron’s Faculty of Theology is very happy to offer you the opportunity to hear Dr. Thatamanil speak at the Orr events this year!\n\n
