New annual Colin Gunton Lecture

I have just heard that the theology department at King's College London are recognising the huge contribution that Colin made to theology at King's and organising an annual public lecture dedicated to his memory and work. The first one will be on the 20th September and will feature Professor Alan Torrance, as well as a number of other papers. More information will be available I imagine from the department's website in due course. I'm gutted that I will miss it this year as I will be in India, but hopefully some or all it will be either recorded or subsequently published.

Baptist theology conference

I'm looking forward to the hearts and minds: baptists doing theology in context conference at Regent's Park College in a few weeks time (post-Greenbelt), where I'm giving a short paper (still to write!) on the 'end' of worship. Other papers look good. This will be the first gathering of this type since 2008 and its got a new feel to it this time being in partnership with the BU and BMS. Steve Holmes and Cathy Ross are the plenary speakers.
