Home / Events / Theology and the Arts / Seminar – Theology as Story: Believing in the Truth of People
Loading Events

In realms of religion, the word “belief” is often used. What do you believe? Do you agree with this belief? Or that belief? Do you think what
you believe is true? This seminar, led by Pádraig Ó Tuama, will move the focus of belief away from what we believe to who we believe. Focusing on a central question of “tell us a time when you were believed” we will uncover the power of belief when it’s enacted as a reciprocal and life-giving gesture, especially when it is least expected.

For: Storytellers, artists, poets, writers and those who lead congregations in ministry and mission.

Wine and nibbles will be available from 6.30pm.

Pádraig Ó Tuama

Pádraig is a peacemaker, poet/prophet and artist/theologian. He writes poems, prose and prayers, and has led writing workshops and art retreats. He has also been artist in residence at Synod meetings.

Pádraig leads the Corrymeela Community in Northern Ireland and is committed to the healing of social, religious and political divisions that exist in Northern Ireland and throughout the world.

“Pádraig Ó Tuama is an extraordinary person, whose influence extends quietly and gracefully across the world. His poetry bears these same qualities and brings him close. It is a gift to us all.” – Krista Tippett (Creator and host of ‘On Being’)
