Conference AgendaConference Agenda

Dr. Scot t Kindred -Barnes

Born and raised in the An-

napolis Valley, Scott was an

amateur boxing champion

before his interest in both

the history of sports and

psychology moved him to

study at university. He completed a B.A. in

history from Acadia University and received

his M.Div. degree from Acadia Divinity Col-

lege. Scott’s two research degrees at the

University of Toronto focused on Refor-

mation history and theology. He continues

to research and publish on the history of

religious persecution and toleration in the

West and in Reformation studies. He has a

particular interest in the ideas and legacies

of Roger Williams and Richard Hooker. In

August 2011 Scott published his first book

on Richard Hooker and the English Refor-

mation entitled Richard Hooker’s Use of His-

tory in His Defense of Public Worship: His

Anglican Critique of Calvin, Barrow, and the

Puritans (Lewiston *Queenston* Lampeter:

The Edwin Mellen Press, 2011).

Scott is a Governing Board Member on the

Canadian Council of Churches. His theology

of ministry and worship has been informed

by both his diversity of experiences and his

keen interest in the Bible and the history of

ideas. Scott and his wife, Kerry, have one

daughter, Elizabeth.

Conference Topic

“Realizing Heaven on Earth”: Four

Words in the Service of God Revisited

While important to the history and

practice of Christianity, the Theological

words “ecumenical, catholic, evangeli-

cal,” and “liberal” are often misunder-

stood. Thus, the Rev. Dr. Scott Kin-

dred-Barnes will invite Christians to

explore these concepts historically,

theologically and pastorally. What does

each concept mean? Are these con-

cepts contradictory to one another?

How are they relevant to the Christian

life and Church Renewal? Is it time to

reassess these concepts in light of the

Church’s mission in the twenty-first

century?
