Jim Wallis in Dunedin.
Tuesday September 28th, 2010
An invitation has come from Andrew Bradstock, Director of the Centre for Theology and Public Issues, giving details of an event to take place at First Church, Moray Place, on Tuesday, 28 September, from 2.00 to 6.00pm.
Jim Wallis is the internationally renowned founder and director of the Sojourners Community in Washington, D.C. He will deliver a major lecture on faith, ethics and public issues as part of a half day conference hosted by the Centre for Theology and Public Issues. Jim is a leading author, speaker and international commentator on faith and public life, and one of President Obamas advisers on religious and ethical issues.
His most well known book, Gods Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesnt Get It changed the US political landscape and was on the New York Times bestseller list for 4 months.
Jim Wallis will speak at a Conference on Faith, Ethics and Public Life on Tuesday, 28th September, at First Church. The main event of the afternoon will be the Howard Paterson Memorial Lecture in Public Theology, to be introduced by the Vice Chancellor, Prof David Skegg, and delivered by Jim Wallis at 4.30 pm, and also included in the programme are a 'public conversation' with Mr Wallis and the launch of his new book, Rediscovering Values.
Full information on this event can be found at www.otago.ac.nz/jimwallis. Tickets can be booked online at just $20 ($15 concession). Admission to just the Memorial Lecture at 4.30 pm is free, though in the event of the venue being full priority will be given to full ticket-holders.
