An annual lecture by a key public figure presenting a perspective on a key social issue
The Smith Lecture provides an annual forum for the intellectually curious to hear the perspective of a Christian public figure on an issue relevant to the life of our nation. The Smith Lecture continues the legacy of the late Bruce Smith. He believed in the broad significance of the Christian message of reconciliation with God through the person and work of Jesus Christ
Previous lectures have included: scientist and mathematician Dr John Lennox explored whether science had 'buried' God; economist Prof Ian Harper explored whether The Global Financial Crisis was a crisis of trust; and historian Prof Edwin Judge discussed the paradox of private faith and public reality.
Please note, the 2022 Smith Lecture has been postponed to the first half of 2023. More information is available here.
