Note the 2026 Oxford Colloquy starts Thursday after Easter.
Description
The Harris Institute’s Oxford Colloquy is a weeklong exclusive gathering of faith leaders at New College at the University of Oxford. The lectures and conversations are dedicated to addressing our time’s most urgent and compelling question: What is the future of faith in the public square? Faith has undeniably held a prominent position in the public square throughout history. However, the witness of faith is currently facing unprecedented challenges. Globally, amid the marketplace of religious pluralism, the emergence of diverse secularism(s), questions about post-secularism, and the up-rise of diverse expressions of Christian traditions spar serious concerns about the role of faith in society’s future. The pressing question is, how must Christians bear faithful witness to Christ and extend the witness for the common good? Reevaluating the significance of faith in the contemporary context is of utmost importance for posterity’s sake.
