Kellogg Lectures to feature Marilyn McCord Adams of Oxford University

[Episcopal Divinity School] Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, will host the annual Kellogg Lectures on Thursday, May 1 and Friday, May 2, featuring the Rev. Canon Marilyn McCord Adams, Episcopal priest and Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford University.

During her two-day lecture series, Adams will deliver three keynote addresses on Horrors: why creating human beings in a world like this looks like a bad idea; Christ: what if God's primary purpose in creation is to be God-with-us in this world; and Holiness: should we rebel? What if God and not the world as we know it is the basic condition of our existence?

An accomplished author and speaker, Adams has written several books including Christ and Horrors: The Coherence of Christology; Wrestling for Blessing; Horrendous Evils and the Goodness of God; and The Problem of Evil. At the Episcopal Church's recent Chicago Consultation in early December, Adams spoke out against homophobia in her paper, Shaking the Foundations: LGBT Bishops and Blessings in the Fullness of Time, stating that "homophobia is a sin whose end time is now."

Upon the death of her son in 1958, Frederic Rogers Kellogg continued the lectureship on a permanent basis as a memorial to her son and husband.
