October 19: Jonathan Chaplin to Present on New Book

ICS and the CPRSE are pleased to welcome Dr. Jonathan Chaplin on October 19th at 1:30pm EDT for a presentation on and discussion of his most recent book, Faith in Democracy: Framing a Politics of Deep Diversity (available from SCM Press). This is an important work that delves into the complex relationships of faith and the public and political spheres, and we're very much looking forward to the opportunity to have Jonathan discuss these themes with us.

Here is a brief description of the book:

What is the place of faith in public life in the UK? Beyond 'secularism' that seeks to relegate faith to the margins of public life, and a 'Christian nation' position that seeks to retain, or even regain, Christian public privilege, there is a third way. Faith in Democracy: Framing a Politics of Deep Diversity calls for an approach that maximizes public space for the expression of faith-based visions within democratic fora while repudiating all traces of religious privilege. It argues for a truly conversational space, reflecting theologically on the contested concepts at the heart of the current debate about the place of faith in British public life: democracy, secularism, pluralism and public faith. (from SCM Press)

Our virtual event on October 19 will be open to the public via Zoom, and our conversation with Jonathan will be steered by Junior Member Abbigail Hofstede and CPRSE’s Postdoctoral Research Associate Andrew Tebbutt.
