Friday 6 September
7.30 -9.00pm
Uniting College for Leadership & Theology
What does it mean to reshape Christian worship in the light of our acknowledgement of the particular history and place of this land we inhabit, and the recognition of the story, culture and presence of its First Peoples? What does it mean to recognise how much our liturgical practices are shaped by northern hemisphere church traditions and contexts? How may our worship more authentically reflect this land and its peoples?
Rev Prof Stephen Burns is quite simply one of the best teachers of worship in Australia. He was a keynote speaker at the national Transforming Worship conference at Burnside UC a few years ago. Stephen is on the faculty of Pilgrim Theological College in Melbourne and the University of Divinity. He is a prolific writer and a wonderful teacher. Stephen is originally from the UK and is a priest with the Church of England, now working ecumenically in placement with the Uniting Church.
Stephen Burns’ presentation will be followed by a panel conversation.
Panel members are
- Revd Ken Sumner, Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress
- Dr Tanya Wittwer, Lecturer, Uniting College, member of St Stephens Lutheran Church, Adelaide
- Revd Peter Balabanksi, minister at St John’s Anglican Church, Adelaide
