A Polyphonic Response: Reflections on the Work and Context of David Fergusson

Join us at New College for a day event to celebrate the work of David Fergusson, marking his seventieth birthday and his retirement as Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge.

This is a day for grateful reflection but also of constructive thinking around current issues in Scotland and beyond, with contributions from a range of figures from the academy and the church.

The registration fee covers two coffee/tea breaks and lunch on the day.

The event is organised by Alison Jack (a.jack@ed.ac.uk) and Paul Nimmo (paul.nimmo@abdn.ac.uk), to whom any queries should be addressed.

The support of the Hope Trust is gratefully acknowledged.
