This occasional lecture series was named in honour of Sir Fred Catherwood, an Ulsterman, and senior industrialist, adviser on industry to the British government, MEP and former vice President of the European Parliament. Among his many roles he made a significant contribution to constructive politics in Northern Ireland and acted as an interlocutor between the British government and Unionism after the Anglo Irish Agreement of 1985.
In this lecture we aim to address issues of public theology, where faith and Christian teaching impact on matters of the public square and public policy. Previous speakers have included, Sir Fred, Michael Schluter, Duncan Forester, Mark Greene, David Smith and Os Guinnes and Donald Shriver.
