Oxford University (U.K.)
Blessed Are The Poor
January 18, 25-26, 2008
What Is Veritas?
The Veritas Forum seeks to create a space within the busy University term calendar for students, staff and faculty to engage with the big questions of life. This first forum at Oxford, entitled Blessed are the Poor, will centre on the big questions of poverty and blessedness in this world, and significantly, with the issue of material poverty and its alleviation.We, the planners of the forum, believe that these words of Jesus’, and his life, present promises and challenges that are directly relevant to us all. We welcome and honour all who bring their own questions and doubts, and even bring some of our own. We have invited presenters who have wrestled with our questions to challenge us, connect disconnected ideas, and put forth their answers and objections in light of our beliefs and doubts. We believe the events will draw participants into real conversations, questions, discussions, stories, and friendships.
We invite you to take part in the conversation at the Veritas Forum at Oxford, and to engage with these concerns together this 18th, 25th and 26th of January. For the Rich/Poor dinner and the Young Practitioners' Forum, please reserve a ticket by emailing us or join the Veritas Forum at Oxford Facebook group and RSVP your attendance when you receive our event invitation.
