Inventing Christmas: the First Sermons on the Nativity
Tel: 01392285983
Tel: 01392285983
In this series of three talks Exeter Cathedral's three Canon Theologians will explore some liturgical responses to the Advent and Christmas seasons. We will introduce some new texts and will share some new perspectives on familiar ones.
Come and join us for one talk or all three, as we learn about and reflect on some beautiful seasonal words for the Word!
Morwenna is Professor in Christian History and Theology at the University of Exeter. She was ordained in 2015 and has been licensed to Exeter Cathedral since then, first as Assistant Curate then as Canon Theologian. Morwenna's specialism is the history of the early church, especially fourth century theology in Greek. For these lectures she will look at the origins of the Christian feast of the Nativity, including some of the earliest evidence for its liturgical celebration – Christmas sermons by the 'Cappadocian' fathers, Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nazianzus and Gregory of Nyssa.
