Christ Church, Georgetown

Only $30 ($15 for currently-enrolled students)
In an age of division and polarization, does Anglicanism offer a way forward to find unity in the midst of deep division and disagreement? From the English Reformation, the Revolution of 1688, the existence of various “streams” within Anglicanism, and even the Church of England’s “mutual flourishing,” diversity within unity has been and continues to be a hallmark of the tradition. But can this Anglican approach speak to the public square?
The Anglicanism vs. Polarization Conference brings together an international roster of scholars and church leaders to explore this very idea. Can Anglicanism as a theological, ecclesiastical, and in many cases an established presence provide a unique approach to public discourse, built on the foundations of the via media or the “middle way.” Join us for this vital conversation!
