Welcome

The 21st Annual Bonhoeffer Lectures in Public Ethics will be held at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University and the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum in Dallas, TX, on May 19-21, 2022. The theme of the Lectures is “Everyday Ethics for Exceptional Times.” Lecturers will draw on Bonhoeffer’s doctrine of the mandates to examine politics, family, church, and culture.

On Friday and Saturday, May 20 and 21, the Lectures will be held at Southern Methodist University, beginning with a symposium on Friday that interrogates the morality of the modern nation state, and concluding on Saturday with lectures on the relationship between the church and society.
