The Ebor Lectures are a response to the growing need for
theology to interact with public issues of contemporary society.
Public theology is about engaging in dialogue with a range of
communities on issues wider than narrowly defined religious
matters. This series of lectures aims to promote public
conversation and to contribute to the formation of personal
decisions and collective policy-making in economic, political and
social spheres. It is also an ecumenical project that seeks to
exchange insights between academia and religious traditions and to
build bridges between church and other religious groups. The
lectures relate faith to public concerns including politics,
economics, contemporary culture, religion and spirituality, society
and globalisation, local and global Christianity.
Theme for the 2009-10 lectures: Business
as Usual?: The Global Economy Crisis and the Future of
Capitalism
The recent economic crisis has affected millions of lives and
has been met by unprecedented measures by governments and
international economic organisations across the world. It has also
raised calls for reform of the current capitalist market systems,
especially from religious and moral considerations. The Ebor
lectures for 2009-10 examine the root causes of the economic
crisis, analyse its local and global implications, evaluate the
current theory and practice of the capitalist market, and suggest
directions for the future of capitalism.
