Craddock Lecture

On Sunday, January 18th, Bloor Street United Church will welcome Rev. Dr. Chris Ferguson to deliver his Craddock Lecture during our 10:30am Worship service. As a life-long ambassador for social justice, with extensive experience in Latin America, the Middle East, and at the United Nations, Chris Ferguson will cast a sharp eye over what has been the experience of the Global South in recent decades while pointing to where transforming power is to be found.

Chris Ferguson is currently the International Visiting Professor at the the Universidad Reformada in Barranquilla, Colombia, and the past General Secretary of the World Communion of Reformed Churches (2014-2021). He served previously as the World Council of Churches representative to the United Nations and also as its representative to Jerusalem. He was Executive Minister of the United Church of Canada’s Justice, Global and Ecumenical Relations Unit and a member of Bloor Street United Church.

After service there will be a light lunch followed by Q&A. We invite you to mark this special occasion in your calendar.

Join in-person in Toronto at St. Matthew’s United Church (729 St. Clair Ave West) or on Zoom. See bloorstreetunited.org for details.
