About the Cheshunt Lectures
The Cheshunt Lectures are held three times a year in the Senatus Room at Westminster College and aim to bridge academic theology and congregational ministry. Each lecture is delivered by a leading scholar and is followed by a reception and open discussion.
These events are open to students, scholars, ministers, and interested members of the public, particularly from the Cambridge Theological Federation, the Faculty of Divinity, and the wider church community.
The Cheshunt Foundation also sponsors events featuring theologians, pastors, and activists such as Brian McLaren, and co-sponsors Westminster’s Reid Lectures.
