Events and Conferences

WHENEVER WE HEAR OF a meeting, conference, exhibit, lecture, or special event that is of interest to Anglicans, we list it here. Generally we prefer to list only events that have a wide appeal, on the diocesan or national level. Alas, we cannot list most parish events.

Future and Current

UK: 2008: Hope 2008
'Churches across the United Kingdom are constantly at work serving and communicating with 58 Million residents and many visitors to the United Kingdom. 'Hope' proposes to support this work, by facilitating intensified, united, focused prayer and a year of activities, communicating the Gospel through words and actions, creating a lasting legacy of both physical and spiritual change in the lives of communities and individuals.'

USA: Colorado, Estes Park, 28 December 2008 - 1 January 2009: S.E.E. the Light
'an event planned and designed by Episcopalian college students for other college students. Throughout our 5 days together, we will explore our theme of "Seek, Encounter, and Embody (SEE) the Light" with speakers, workshop leaders and with each other, while spending time in worship rooted in Episcopal traditions from around the world. Skiing, snowshoeing, and other activities taking advantage of Colorado's natural beauty will also be available.'

England: Worcester College, Oxford, 6-8 April 2009: The Early Modern Parish Church Conference
'This conference will provide a forum to assess the role and significance of the parish church in the early modern period. This interdisciplinary conference will attract papers from art historians, architectural historians, legal historians, archaeologists, as well as historians and ecclesiastical historians. Rather than a series of case studies of particular churches, it is hoped that this conference will provide a better understanding of the evolution and importance of this religious building within communities across Europe during the confessional, economic, political and social changes of the early modern period. A call for papers will be announced in Spring 2008 but for initial expressions of interest and to receive further details about the conference, please contact Kathryn Johnson at kjohnson@brookes.ac.uk. More information is available here and here.

Scotland: Aviemore, 2-4 October 2009: Living Well
'The theme of the [2009 provincial] Conference is Living Well: Proclaim, Discover, Respond, and the underpinning Bible passage is the 'Women at the Well' narrative (John 4:3-43). The theme encompasses the Anglican Communion's Five Marks of Mission: proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God; teach, baptise and nurture new believers; respond to human need by loving service; seek to transform unjust structures of society; strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.'

Canada: Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island: 2010 Celebration
'the 300th Anniversary of the first B.C.P. service held in Canada. The exact date was October 10th, 1710, at Port Royal in Annapolis Royal. We also celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the opening of the Cathedral Church of All Saints, on September 10th., 1910. Our theme is "A journey Just Begun" from the Common Praise song 'She Flies on." 2010 Anniversary events will take place during the time leading up to the October 2010 celebration.'

Past events

Worldwide: 14 July 2008: A Day of Celebration and Prayer
Monday 14 July marks the 175th anniversary of John Keble's Assize Sermon, marked by historians as the beginning of the Oxford Movement. 'you are warmly invited to join in an hour of silent prayer which is being held to mark the 175th anniversary of the Oxford Movement and of the Catholic Revival in the Church of England.'

England: Canterbury, 16 July to 3 August 2008: Lambeth Conference
'The chief aims of our time together are, first, that we become more confident in our Anglican identity, by deepening our awareness of how we are responsible to and for each other; and second, that we grow in energy and enthusiasms for our task of leading the work of mission in our Church.'
