Lectures to help lay leaders
better appreciate theology

TRINITY Theological College is launching the annual Earnest Lau Professorship Lectures which aim to bring theology to the level that pastors and informed lay leaders could appreciate.


The first annual lecture entitled "Rediscovering the Catechumenate: How to Help New Converts Discover their Real Christian Identity" will be held at TTC, Upper Bukit Timah Road, on Jan 19, 2005 at 8 pm.


The speaker will be the Rev Dr Simon Chan, Earnest Lau Professor of Systematic Theology at TTC.


The focus of the lecture is on the relationship between theology and some aspects of church life and pastoral practice so that Christians can be encouraged to think through pastoral issues theologically and formulate theologically informed responses rather than merely resort to pragmatic solutions.


Among other issues, the lecture will answer the question "How is the church to help Christians develop a stronger church identity?"
