LINCOLN LECTURE SERIES EP#01: JUST RESPONSIBILITY? How can social theology help us play our part in spiritual and civic renewal? With Jenny Sinclair

In the introductory lecture exploring the purpose of the series, and in the context of seismic change, Jenny Sinclair outlines the tradition of Catholic Social Thought as a framework to read the signs of the times and as a guide towards a coherent gospel-rooted response. She explores notions of justice, the common good, the vocation of the church and how we are each called to take responsibility.

Jenny Sinclair is founder director of Together for the Common Good, a UK charity dedicated to spiritual and civic renewal. Drawing on Catholic social thought, T4CG helps people across the churches make sense of this time of seismic change and discern their unique vocation for the common good.

This lecture was given on 7 June 2022 as part a series of nine lectures featuring speakers from different traditions who draw on Catholic Social Thought to explore how the Christian tradition can be a blessing on public life and discourse. Introduced and curated by Jenny Sinclair, these talks were held in partnership with Lincoln Cathedral and CCLA.
