About the theme

The theme of this conference concerned the relevance of theology and the Reformed tradition, in particular to the contexts in which we live and work, especially when it comes to the presence of theology in the public square. The aim was not so much to discuss the concept of public theology. Rather was the broad theme of ‘public theology in plural contexts’ meant as an invitation to all of the participants to express and share our real concerns in doing theology in each of our particular societal and cultural contexts with their particular challenges and urgencies.
