About

The triannual Cheshunt Lectures explore the relevance of recent developments in academic theology to congregational ministry.

The lectures are delivered by research specialists representing the various sub-disciplines of theology, broadly construed.

Students, scholars, ministers, and other religious practitioners from the Cambridge Theological Federation, the Faculty of Divinity, and the wider academic and church community are warmly welcome to attend.

The Cheshunt Foundation also sponsors talks from notable theologians, pastors and activists such as Brian McClaren and co-sponsors Westminster’s Reid Lectures, which are delivered by its Reid Fellow.
