 — May 4, 20154 mai 2015

On Thursday, April 30, Rev. Dr. Gordon T. Smith gave a public lecture entitled “What Can Evangelicals Learn from Catholic Christians? An Evangelical Response.” Smith is the president of Ambrose University, a college affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene and the Christian & Missionary Alliance in Canada. He is also a professor of Systematic and Spiritual Theology. He holds a Ph.D. from the Loyola School of Theology, Ateneo de Manila University, in the Philippines. He has spoken on other occasions about the importance of Evangelical-Catholic relations for the contemporary church. He was invited to Saskatoon by the Evangelical-Roman Catholic Dialogue of Saskatoon to offer a reflection from an Evangelical perspective on the Catholic Church following the reforms of the Second Vatican Council.

• Update: On Feb 4, 2016, Dr Robert Stackpole offered a complementary lecture “What can Catholics learn from Evangelicals?“

Following Dr. Smith’s presentation, Gertrude Rompré and Dr. Jeromey Martini offered responses. Rompré is the director of Mission and Ministry at St. Thomas More College in Saskatoon. Martini is the president of Horizon College in Saskatoon, a professor of New Testament Studies, and a member of the local dialogue group. An extended period was available for question and answer, with questions about the details of Smith’s talk as well as the continuing prospects for dialogue. A video of Smith’s presentation is available.
