CCS Symposium featured in The Tablet

In June, the Centre for Catholic Studies (CCS) at Durham University held a two-day symposium, 'Learning on the Way', focusing on Synodality and Receptive Ecumenism.

The event, which took place from the 21^st-23^rd June and was hosted by Professor Paul D. Murray and Doctor Gregory Ryan, featured guest speakers from six Christian Church denominations in England and Wales.

Almost 140 delegates attended lectures, small group discussions, and plenary sessions, which were held in Durham at Ushaw College, and St Cuthbert’s Catholic Church.

As part of the symposium, the CCS’s annual Bishop Dunn Memorial Lecture was given by Sr Nathalie Becquart XMCJ, Undersecretary of the Office of the Synod of Bishops. Sr Nathalie’s talk at Elvet Riverside explored the relationship between Ecumenism and Synodality and was followed by a Q&A session with the audience.

The Tablet's Christopher Lamb was in attendance throughout the symposium, and wrote a two-page feature on the event.
