The Church and the Far Right

A presentation and question-and-answer session on The Church, the Far Right, and the Claim to Christianity with Revd Dr Helen Paynter

Helen Paynter is Director of the Centre for the Study of Bible and Violence, as well as an academic and educator in the areas of biblical and theological education at Bristol Baptist College. She has researched and published extensively on topics of religion and violence, as well as on spiritual abuse. Together with Maria Power, Helen Paynter edited the book, The Church, the Far Right, and the Claim to Christianity (SCM, 2024). 

 

The event aims to explore a timely and difficult topic and we very much hope to engage in free, frank and constructive dialogue on the Far Right (what it is and how its influence manifests) and the roles of complicity and resistance of Church and Christianity.

The event will take place at the Emmanuel Centre, University of Leeds from 16.30-18.30 on Friday 14 March.
