Ecumenical Lectures in July 2010

 
CCA-FMU Joint Executive Secretary Hope S. Antone conducted a number of ecumenical lectures in July 2010. The Ecumenical Lecture Series is CCA’s initiative of reaching out to the theological institutions of its member churches and also a response to requests from the theological education institutions. This program enables CCA to send a lecturer or some lecturers to enrich the schools’ offerings with inputs and presentations on ecumenism and wider ecumenical vision and to address certain topics or issues suggested by the requesting institutions.

On July 9-10, the ecumenical lectures were conducted at the Theological College of Lanka, in Nandana Uyana, Pilimatalawa, Sri Lanka. The lectures made in Sri Lanka were on the occasion of TCL College Day to which Hope Antone was invited as chief guest. The events included the graduation of students from the BTh, BD and diploma programs and the induction of the new principal of TCL, Rev. Dr. Jerome Sahabandhu.

While in Colombo, Hope Antone had an opportunity to preach at Christ Church in Kotte where the Rev. Fr. Jayasiri Peiris is the minister.

On 19-23 July, ecumenical lectures were conducted at the PERSETIA Summer School for Graduate Students in Tomohon, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The summer school is an additional intensive course requirement for graduate students and it is normally attended by around 100 graduate students from the PERSETIA member seminaries of Indonesia. Students will come from the mainline Protestant churches and also the Evangelical churches which are members of the Communion of Churches in Indonesia (PGI).

While in Tomohon, Indonesia, Hope Antone was invited by the World Student Christian Federation Asia-Pacific Region to give a Bible study on women and men partnership at their Regional Committee Meeting in Tomohon on 23 July, and two Bible studies on eco-feminism at the pre-RCM women’s gathering in Manado on 19-20 July.

See CCA News September 2010 edition for more details on these ecumenical lectures in July.
