If there is one conference to understand how the Anglican mind is supposed to work, it’s the 2019 Anglican Way Summer Conference July 11-14 in Dallas, Texas at Church of the Holy Communion Cathedral!
This year, our keynote speaker Dr. Hans Boersma. Dr. Boersma served as the J.I. Packer Professor of Theology at Regent College since 2005 and has recently been named the Chair of Ascetical Theology at Nashotah House Seminary. He has perhaps in greater detail, and better than any other in recent times, articulated the clearest and best Anglican model of theology based on the Great Tradition of Christian Platonism. It’s summarized well in his seminal work, Heavenly Participation: The Weaving of a Sacramental Tapestry.
Dr. Boersma will begin with his first talk on Sacramentalism, by offering his thesis of Christian Platonism through the insightful, lucid, and creative work of C.S. Lewis, to distinguish mere symbol from sacrament. He will then cover the important topic of Contemplation in his second presentation on the Beatific Vision. Third, he addresses the essential matter of Anglicanism and Scripture with the development of a sacramental hermeneutic closer to how Christ, the Apostles and the Church Fathers understood the Old and New Testaments. Fourth, Dr. Boersma will turn to the topic of worship with a teaching on the sacrifice of Christ and how we participate in it by way of the Blessed Sacrament. Our speaker’s talks will conclude on the important subject of beauty presented in the Book of Psalms, as a means of participating in the heavenly realm.
Bring your friends and your priest or pastor! Neither will be disappointed!
