This year’s Laing Lecture is titled, ‘Imitation in Early Christianity and Today’ and will be delivered by Professor Cor Bennema
Imitation ethics is a form of ethics where one intentionally associates with an exemplary person to imitate and become like that person. In Christianity, the issue of imitating role models plays a crucial role but has not received much attention. We will explore what history and the Bible can teach us about imitation and how to live well. Imitation in Christianity is a means to moral development in that the goal of imitating Jesus is to become Christlike. We will learn that authentic imitation is not about simplistic replication or cloning but a complex, creative process as part of our discipleship.
This is a free Lecture, starting at 7:30pm and will be held at Emmanuel Church Northwood: High Street, Northwood HA6 1AS
There will also be a book stall at the church (and also on campus during the day), where you will be able to purchase Cor Bennema’s publications.
