Dear all,
I hope you are all
doing well and finding those moments of joy and community in this academic
year.
You may already have
heard about this event from your fellow chaplains in the HE Institution(s)
where you are accredited or attached. In the past it has been a wonderful
occasion to meet Ecumenical colleagues and also to share among ourselves our
experience serving as Orthodox chaplains in Higher Education in the UK.
We are emailing with
details of the CHELG 2024 Annual Conference: Journeying Together which will
take place Monday 8 January - Wednesday 10 January at The Hayes Conference
Centre in Derbyshire. https://www.cct.org.uk/the-hayes/the-hayes-conference-centre
Attached is a flyer
with details on our keynotes speakers and how to book. I have also included
this information below.
The cost for the entire
conference (including accommodation) is £250. If you are interested in a
non-residential place, please be in touch as that will have a reduced rate.
Our keynote speakers
will be:
Prof. Kristin Aune
(Sociology of Religion, Coventry University): Talk and workshop about helping
students build positive relationships across differences of religion and
worldview (based on the ‘Building Positive Relationships’ report).
David Wells (teacher,
public speaker, author, & catechist): The Art of Accompaniment in a Higher
Education setting.
Dr Nicola Brady
(General Secretary of CTBI): Looking forward and living together in peace
amidst difference.
As always, there will
be time for short workshops on the Tuesday. We welcome workshops from those
attending and if you would like to lead a workshop, please do get in touch.
We hope you will attend
- the Conference is always a great opportunity for getting together to share
our work, receive and offer support and to just enjoy time together!
