Ecumenical Bible Week 2022 – Registration open now for online events

Ecumenical Bible Week 2022 runs from Pentecost Sunday to Trinity Sunday – June 5 to 12. The overall theme for this year’s event, which will feature five online events, is ‘A New Pentecost: Moving to the Edges’ based on Acts 10:44 ‘Peter was still speaking when the Holy Spirit came upon all who listened to the word.’

Now in its ninth year, Ecumenical Bible Week is led by the Archdiocese of Dublin and the United Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough in collaboration with many other Christian traditions.

The opening event on Tuesday June 7 at 10am is Morning Prayer broadcast live from the oratory of Tallaght University Hospital and led by Fr John Kelly and the chaplaincy team.

On Wednesday evening at 7.30pm, ‘Every Tribe and Tongue’ will celebrate the diversity of Christian expression throughout Ireland. The Revd Philip McKinley will curate a conversation with Christians from various ethnicities and nationalities about what the Holy Spirit is doing in their lives and communities in Ireland.

The symposium on Thursday June 9 is on the theme ‘Listen to the Word’. Presenters, Bishop Michael Burrows, Bishop of Tuam, Limerick and Killaloe; Sean Goan, coordinator of Spiritan Mission Animation Ireland and lecturer in biblical theology; and Lorna Gold Director of Movement Building at Faithinvest will explore how Listening to the Word leads us to connect with those on the margins of society.

Presenters of this year’s Thinking Allowed will consider the question: ‘What is my personal vision of a New Pentecost?’ Church leaders and others working on the margins will give their personal visions of what a new movement of the Spirit might mean in today’s world. Presenters are Amy Carey, CEO of Solas Project; Archbishop Dermot Farrell, Catholic Archbishop of Dublin; Archbishop Michael Jackson, Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin; Dr Ebun Joseph Nigerian–Irish lecturer, author and consultant; Fr Ioann Kazadojev

Russian Orthodox Rector of Diocesan Community of St Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia in Castlebar; and Barbara Walshe, restorative justice facilitator and mediator.

The closing event will take place within the Sunday worship of Inchicore Solid Rock Church on June 12 led by Pastor Emmanuel Might. During this Fr Vasyl Kornitsky of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and curate in Donnycarney parish will reflect on the readings.

Registration is required to attend each event and this can be done on the EBW website – www.bibleweek.ie
