Haddon Willmer

  • Entry Point seminar

  • World’s History, Heaven’s Silence, Theology’s Place

    Inaugural Lecture, University of Leeds, 1996 I am a Leeds-grown professor. I have worked with three notable Professors, John Tinsley, David Jenkins and Adrian Hastings, who have taught me much, as have many other colleagues in the Department where I have been able to learn what theology and religious studies are in practice and also…

  • God so loved the world

    Presidential Address to the Yorkshire Baptist Association, 1985 Allow me first one personal remark. What I have to say may sound like a lecture; I ask you to hear it as a testimony. It describes something of what it has been given to me to discover, to imagine, to think and to seek for, in…

  • This Answers To That

    Is THIS, No one is safe until everyone is safe – we applied it to the pandemic, but why not our economy? | Rowan Williams | The Guardian the answer to THAT, The Guardian view on charities and the cost of living crisis: overwhelming needs | Editorial | The Guardian? ‘THAT’ warns that ‘as more and more people struggle with…

    A talk about climate change, while there is yet time

    If you dislike this sermon, blame it on this, that I have recently been reading Jeremiah and the Guardian. So I think I ought to talk about climate change, though it is difficult to do. May I do so?  The IPCC recently (2018!) warned that a rise in global temperature of 1.5° above pre-industrial levels…
