Faith & the city - part 3

Areopagus # 24

W

here do faith and the city intersect? What does faith in the city look like? In June, Dr. Jonathan Chaplin challenged participants to consider those questions at the Faith and the City Symposium sponsored by The Salvation Army Ethics Centre in Winnipeg Canada. The event drew a capacity audience of people who are engaged with these issues and under Dr Chaplin’s leadership they grappled with the everyday challenges of living faith in the living organism of the city. Articles written by Chaplin have appeared on theRubicon: Sphere sovereignty & public life | Street-level justice

Chaplin’s final talk of the Symposium was the sermon during an evocative Sunday morning service. It was entitled: Seeking the Welfare of the City.
