Living Theology 2026 runs from Friday 10th to Monday 13th July 2026 at the Loreto Spirituality Centre in Llandudno, North Wales. It is a welcoming, ecumenical summer school in Christian faith open to all, with no prior theological training required.

The programme begins Friday evening with a keynote lecture on Hope: A Virtue for Our Troubled Times by Ethna Regan CHF. Over the three days, participants can choose three of four daily courses, each offered as a series of presentations repeated on different days:

Perspectives on Environmental Theology – Ethna Regan CHF

Encounters at the Well – Josette Zammit‑Mangion CJ, exploring biblical encounters such as Jesus and the Samaritan woman

Christians in a Crazy World – Michael Smith SJ, discussing faith in contemporary life

Jesus Christ and the Religions – Michael Barnes SJ, examining how Christians understand Jesus in a pluralist world

The timetable also includes morning prayer, Mass, reflection, and optional evening workshops.

Both residential (£280 for three nights) and non‑residential (£36 per day or £105 for the three days) options are available, with a non‑refundable deposit required to secure a place. Priority for accommodation is given to those attending the full programme. Booking is done via the centre’s registration form, and the centre will confirm your place and deposit payment.
