Colloquium Hears Anglican Perspectives on Vatican II
SEARCH: A Church of Ireland Journal and the Church of Ireland Chaplaincy at TCD joined forces to organise a colloquium to mark the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council. The event, entitled Remembering Vatican II: Some Anglican Perspectives, took place today, Saturday 13 April, in Trinity College Dublin.
A number of distinguished speakers looked at the impact of the Council on the Church of Ireland in particular and world–wide Anglicanism in general. Through an examination of some of the key Vatican II documents the fruits of the Council were analysed and assessed.
Speakers included Dr Andrew Pierce, Assistant Professor and Programme Coordinator in Intercultural Theology and Interreligious Studies at the Irish School of Ecumenics, TCD; the Rt Revd Dr Michael Ipgrave, Bishop of Woolwich (Church of England); the Revd Dr Kevin Moroney, Rector of Christ Church, Ithan, Pennsylvania and Adjunct Professor at the Lutheran Theological Seminary of Philadelphia; and Dr Clare Amos, Programme Executive for Inter–Religious Dialogue and Cooperation at the World Council of Churches, Geneva.
Both Archbishops of Dublin (The Most Revd Dr Michael Jackson and The Most Revd Dr Diarmuid Martin) attended and gave opening and closing remarks respectively.
