Sea of Faith Christchurch Group

At our next meeting, on Friday 10 July, Laurie will talk about his journey with Eugen Drewermann. Although a sensation in Europe, Eugen Drewermann is almost unknown in the English-speaking world. Laurie tells the story of how he came to be so interested in him and influenced by him. A Roman Catholic theologian who has been forbidden to teach, preach, celebrate the mass, or even to receive the mass, he seeks to incorporate insights from existentialism and depth psychology into a contemporary understanding of religion. In recent times, he has worked on articulating religious affirmations in dialogue with modern science, most recently neurobiology.
