The Koinonia Lectures
The Koinonia lectures, co-organised by Westminster Abbey, the Diocese of London, and St Paul’s Cathedral, offer an opportunity to engage with the latest research from a wide range of theological and ecclesiological thinkers.
The programme draws on distinguished speakers from international and ecumenical contexts and explores a diverse range of topics.
There are four online lectures and two in-person lectures, one at St Paul’s and one at Westminster Abbey, each season. Each comprises a 45-minute presentation followed by a question and answer session.
Everyone is welcome to attend the events, which are free of charge, but booking is essential.
