Public Lectures delivered in the Anglican Theological Institute of Bermuda as part of our Thomas and Winifred Nisbett Lectures in Biblical Studies.
Inaugurated in 2012 by The Rt Revd Richard Chartres KCVO ChStJ PC FSA, then the Bishop of London, "The Canon Thomas and Winfred Nisbett Lectures in Biblical Studies” ('The Nisbett Lectures') were conceived by the then "Diocesan Committee on Education and Evangelism" of the Anglican Church of Bermuda to sponsor and promote an annual lecture in the Diocese open to both Anglicans and non-Anglicans, lay and ordained.
The aims of the Nisbett Lectures are to foster theological understanding and debate in the Diocese; to provide a forum for learning in Christian Biblical theology; to promote growth in faith and enable the members of the Anglican Church of Bermuda to engage with and address the issues of the day from a mature Biblical perspective; and to encourage and develop the outreach of the Church in evangelism and mission.
The Nisbett Lectures have been privileged to welcome such Theologians, Biblical Scholars, and Faith Practioners as The Revd Dr Alister McGrath (Professor in Science and Religion at the University of Oxford UK), The Revd Rose Hudson-Wilkin (79th Chaplain to the Speaker of the House of Commons), Dr Sarah Snyder (Archbishop of Canterbury’s Advisor for Reconciliation), Dr David Deane (Associate Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Atlantic School of Theology, Halifax CA), and The Revd Dr Sharon Prentis (Beginning Theology Course Coordinator at St Mellitus College, London UK).
