The Church in Society
March 25, 2022
KLC hosts a variety of private events within our hubs and seminars, a monthly open prayer meeting, and occasional public events with our members and partners, which typically happen on the third Thursday of each month. We also host a biennial conference in Cambridge and our annual meal during SBL in North America.
Below you can sign up to receive our monthly prayer liturgy and meeting details, see any upcoming public events, and watch recordings of past events.
Prayer is at the heart of KLC’s work. Under the leadership of Hugo Herfst, we will host an hour prayer meeting on the first Thursday of every month at 4pm UK time that is open to the whole KLC community.
The Scripture and University Seminar (SAUS) is hosting the third in its series of events, which will culminate in our annual in-person meeting at SBL/IBR in November. The meeting is 45 minutes and will give you a taste of the work of this seminar. It includes a short presentation and plenty of time for Q&A.
Dr Jennifer Allen Craft (PhD, University of St. Andrews) is presenting on placemaking from an arts perspective. She is associate professor of humanities and theology at Point University in West Point, Georgia, where she teaches courses in theology, philosophy and the arts. She published Placemaking and the Arts: Cultivating the Christian Life with IVP Academic in 2018.
Boston’s historic Chilton Club plays host to our 2025 Annual Meal at SBL/AAR/IBR. Our Annual Meal is a highlight of the KLC calendar and every year it proves to be a time of rich dialogue, relationship building and collegial celebration.
“My highlight was the creative dialogue that happened in the seminars, and then spilled out into the hallways, … the coffee areas, and kept popping up all through the KLC dinner. When what you are doing thousands of miles away matters to other scholars, and sharpens their scholarship, and vice versa, and involves both academic and personal revelation, you know it has been true gift.“
– Dr Julie Canlis
“Gathering together for the Scripture Collective and the annual meal was a time of much-needed encouragement. The opportunities for conversation, following a paper or over dinner, helped recenter my perspective on the deep sense of community that is the heart of KLC. I am already looking forward to next year!“
– Dr Shawn M. Langley
