VTS to Welcome Idowu-Fearon

The Most Rev. Josiah Idowu-Fearon, secretary general of the Anglican Communion, will be the Mollegen Forum speaker at 7 p.m. Nov. 15 at Virginia Theological Seminary.

The secretary general’s visit is part of the seminary’s 20th anniversary celebration for its Center for Anglican Communion Studies. He will address “The Vitality of World Anglicanism” in conversation with a panel moderated by the Rev. Robert S. Heaney, director of the center.

VT asks for advance registration for the free event.

The Mollegen Forum honors the memory of Albert T. Mollegen, who taught New Testament and ethics at VTS from 1936 until 1974. Mollegen was committed to a conversation between the church and the public square. He was committed to dialogue between theology and the structures of power, and inspired students to become more deeply engaged with a broad range of justice issues.

Matthew Townsend is the former news editor of The Living Church and former editor of the Anglican Journal. He lives in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
