Anglican Social Ethics and the Search for Justice

CEEP Network Online Event 

August 13, 2020

3:00 p.m. EDT

The challenges of our contemporary moment are unprecedented and can seem overwhelming. For many Christians, the presence and perniciousness of structures of injustice in our society have become even more apparent. Yet determining how the church can and should be engaged to challenge injustices gets complicated. In this online panel discussion, co-sponsored by Nashotah House, the Consortium of Endowed Episcopal Churches (CEEP), and the Anglican Theological Review, ethicists will explore the Anglican social ethics tradition to address these challenges.
