A Theology of City Planning

Trinity Episcopal Cathedral

Trinity Cathedral's Insights Lecture Series presents a lecture and panel discussion with the Rev. Dr. Willie James Jennings.

What kind of city do we want to live in? What kind of city should we live in? And how might a Christian participate in making those decisions? As Little Rock undergoes a new city planning process, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral welcomes the Rev. Dr. Willie James Jennings, one of the world’s leading and most celebrated theologians, to speak about a “theology of city planning” as a part of the Insights Lecture Series. Immediately after his lecture, Professor Jennings will participate in a panel discussion with local change-makers, Kathy Webb and Jay Jennings. A reception will follow in Morrison Hall. On Sunday, April 6, Professor Jennings will lead Trinity’s Adult Formation offering at 9:15 am and will preach at the 10:30 am service. To learn more, contact the Rev.
