We invite you to the ‘2024 Whitley at Whitley Lecture’.
Rev Dr Tim Judson’s timely and powerful reflection on “whiteness” is a deeply personal and carefully argued appeal that combines theological insights with biblical reflection. Through an exploration of the trauma that Jesus experienced as he anticipated the cross, Tim will open up often neglected themes in the gospels’ accounts of Jesus’ agony in the garden of Gethsemane, illuminating questions of justice and identity.
