“Theology in the Church - Who Needs It?”

The Currents series of conferences explores trends and directions in Biblical and Theological research in the Prairie region. This year the Conference is dedicated to the memory of the late H. Gordon Harland, well-known scholar and teacher of theology at the University of Manitoba, for whom church and theology were central concerns. We extend a very warm invitation for you to consider this gathering as part of your Spring commitments. Each conference includes a keynote speaker, and papers presented by scholars actively engaged in their fields. The event begins with a reception and includes lunch on Saturday.
