Speaker: Professor Graham Ward, Senior Research Fellow at Campion Hall, former Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford, and Extraordinary Professor at the University of Stellenbosch. His notable works include Cities of God, True Religion, and How The Light Gets In. He is currently working on a four-volume systematic theology, Ethical Life, with the third volume, Salvation, due next year.
Venue: Campion Hall Lecture Room (in-person) and online.
About the Lecture: Professor Ward explores the Holy Spirit's role in salvation, focusing on the formation of persons and the concept of persona. Drawing on Scripture and evolutionary biology, he examines how the Spirit works on emotional and dispositional levels, beyond cognition, in the process of becoming our true selves in Christ. Suffering and personal biographies play key roles in this transformative journey.

This weekend explores the human condition through your own life story, in the context of the Gospel story and the Christian spiritual life, using mindfulness skills and contemplative Christian prayer.
The team at St Beuno's have created this retreat for participants to reflect on Pope Leo XIV's statement: "We want to be a synodal church, walking and always seeking peace, charity, closeness, especially to those who are suffering."
This residential course includes listening skills, discernment of spirits, a model of Ignatian spiritual conversation and accompaniment, and ways of praying. The course will help deepen and improve one-to-one pastoral ministry, using Ignatian principles based on the Spiritual Exercises.
