Living Theology 2026: To be held from 1 – 3 September 2026 at St Luke’s Retreat Centre, Park Lane. The theme is Our Father? The Shadow of Father, and the guest speakers are David Neuhaus SJ and Kgaugelo Habyane. This three-day series is a journey into the history, the wounds, and the reimagining of fatherhood. Together, we will explore how Scripture, especially the language of “Our Father”, has shaped our image of God, and how that image meets the lived realities of fatherhood today. Through reflection, dialogue, and engagement with Scripture, the Living Theology series creates space to acknowledge both personal and collective woundedness, while opening pathways toward forgiveness, reconciliation, and integration.
