Welcome to Wycliffe College

The Right Reverend N.T. Wright

November 25 – 27, 2008

The Anglican Communion Institute is sponsoring a series of conferences on the theme 'Anglicanism -- A Gift in Christ'. The first will be held at St Paul's Bloor Street, 25-27 November, 2008 and is co-sponsored with Wycliffe College and St. Paul’s Church.

The conferences will serve as a context for producing a 14-speaker DVD series, on various topics of theological, biblical, liturgical, and missionary significance, for adult education in Anglican congregations. The Toronto conference will look at New Testament, Old Testament, Hymnody, Christian Witness in the Muslim world, and the Parish as the Centre of Christian renewal.

Our speakers are the Rt Revd NT Wright (Durham, UK), the Revd Dr Jo Bailey Wells (Duke University), Dr Edith Humphrey (Pittsburgh Theological Seminary), the Most Revd Josiah Idowu-Fearon (Province of Nigeria), and Principal George Sumner (Wycliffe College).

The conference will begin with a buffet supper at 6 PM Tuesday evening, to be followed by Bishop Tom Wright's discussion of the New Testament in Anglican contexts. He will also speak on his own work on Wednesday morning, and field general questions related to New Testament studies and his contribution to the field. The other speakers will address their topics on Wednesday, with the conference concluding Thursday at noon. Lunches will be served and coffee and light breakfast and refreshments will be offered. A regular schedule of worship services will also be held at St Paul's Anglican Church. We will also use the occasion to speak more generally about our life in the Anglican Communion at present.
