5th Theology Symposium
Nicaea at 1700: A Council for the Ages?
When: Friday 22 – Saturday 23 August 2025
Where: to be held on the campus at St Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Theological College, 242 Cleveland Street REDFERN NSW 2016
CALL FOR PAPERS
Proposals are invited for 20-minute papers addressing topics on the theme of the Symposium (there will be an additional 10 minute allocation for Q & A).
The theological symposium seeks to reflect on the times, theology and legacy of this great council and consider its relevance for Christian life and thought in the twenty-first century and beyond. It welcomes presentations from the different disciplines of Christian theology, irrespective of their field of expertise, academic affiliation or denominational background. It is hoped that a cross-disciplinary approach (whether this be systematic theology, patristics, ethics, biblical studies, church history, liturgics, etc.) will contribute by casting further light – a more enriching and holistic perspective – on this most prominent council of the Church and its enduring significance.
The Convenors ask that a title of the proposed presentation be submitted together with an abstract of 250 – 300 words by Monday 20 June, 2025.
The proposal should also be accompanied by the following contact details: a) Title, b) Name, c) Institutional affiliation, d) postal address, e) phone number and f) e-mail address.
Accepted speakers will be notified by Monday 30 June, 2025.
All submissions should be addressed to Assoc. Prof. Philip Kariatlis: pkariatlis@sagotc.edu.au
