The annual
Winter School presented by the Faculty of Theology, Stellenbosch University, is
scheduled from Tuesday 13 June to Thursday 15 June this year and will focus on
the theme Reforming the Church, Society and Ourselves.
In the light of the 500 -year
celebration of the Reformation the Winter School of 2017 will engage with the
need for an ongoing reformation of the church, society, and people. The focus
will be on what we can learn from the Reformation, but also on discussing ways
in which we need to go further and seek new modes of being church in a rapidly
changing society.
The keynote speakers
are Dr Ishmael Noko, President of the Inter-faith Action for Peace in Africa, Judge
Steven Majiedt, judge of the Supreme Court of Appeal, and Dr Margaret Blackie,
lecturer at the Department of Chemistry and Polymer Science, Stellenbosch
University. The plenary sessions will be supplemented with a wide range of
related parallel sessions. Please take note that, due to the
ecumenical nature of the conference, English will be the main language of
instruction.
The Winter School will be held at
the Faculty of
Theology, 171 Dorp
Street, Stellenbosch. The cost is
R350 for the full course. The closing date for registration is Friday 2 June
2017. Please refer to the programme and registration form.
