Wednesday last week saw a wonderful and memorable event at the University of Notre Dame's London Campus. The Society of St Catherine of Siena and T&T Clark hosted an academic colloquium to celebrate the publication of Margaret Barker's new book Temple Themes in Christian Worship. Our thanks go to Dr Susan Frank Parsons and Dr Laurence Paul Hemming for organising this event and inviting an impressive list of speakers:
His Grace Bishop Basil of Amphipolis
Professor Robert Hayward, University of Durham
Professor John Welch, Brigham Young University
Rabbi Professor Marc Saperstein, Leo Baeck College, London
Dr Crispin Fletcher-Louis, Westminster Theological Centre, London
Dr Susan Frank Parsons, Society of St Catherine of Siena
The invited responses were followed by an open discussion which was most lively and fruitful.
We have asked the contributors to make their responses available and we will post them here as they come in. I hope you'll find them as enjoyable and inspiring as did those who were present last week!
