Centre for Theology and Public Issues

CTPI was created to carry on New College's long tradition of public engagement.Duncan Forrester, 'New Wine in Old Bottles', Disruption to Diversity: Edinburgh Divinity 1846-1996, eds., David F. Wright and Gary D. Badcock (Edinburgh: T&T Clark, 1996), 267. The founding director of CTPI, Duncan Forrester, reflected in the mid-1990s on the purpose of the centre:

{{blockquote |Theology and the problems of the world have tended to drift apart, as theology has sometimes seen the academic world as a refuge from relevance. Nor is it any longer possible to expect a magisterial theology which descends from above to interpret and resolve the world's problems, more or less on its own. We clearly need to develop a theology which is neither deductive nor inductive, but which grows out of a dialectic between the tradition and the praxis of those who are involved in endeavoring to transform the situation.Forrester, 'New Wine in Old Bottles', 267.}}

CTPI was intended to foster such dialectical theological research. Forrester goes on to describe CTPI's working method as a three-step process:

1. Engage the experience of those affected by a public issue. Here an emphasis is placed on hearing the testimonies of the most vulnerable.
2. Gather the best available social scientific analysis of the issue.
3. Reflect theologically on the experiential and social scientific findings. Produce a cogent theological response that empowers Christian advocates and policy makers.Forrester, 'New Wine in Old Bottles', 268-269

Forrester stepped down from the centre in 2000, handing over his directorship to Will Storrar. Storrar is now the director of the Center of Theological Inquiry, in Princeton.{{cite web |url=http://www.ctinquiry.org/aboutcti/williamstorrar.aspx |title=Center of Theological Inquiry - William Storrar |publisher=Ctinquiry.org |accessdate=2012-06-28 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306022627/http://www.ctinquiry.org/aboutcti/williamstorrar.aspx |archivedate=6 March 2012 |df=dmy-all }} Whilst at Edinburgh, he founded the Global Network for Public Theology, which connects academic research centres in public theology from around the world.{{cite web |url=http://www.csu.edu.au/special/accc/about/gnpt/ |title=Home - Global Network for Public Theology (GNPT) - Charles Sturt University |publisher=Csu.edu.au |date=2010-08-26 |accessdate=2012-06-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100523062231/http://www.csu.edu.au/special/accc/about/gnpt/ |archive-date=23 May 2010 |url-status=dead }} Subsequent directors include Cecelia Clegg and Jolyon Mitchell.

Since its founding, CTPI research has resulted in a number of conferences and publications. Topics have included poverty and welfare, justice and the penal system, peace and international security, suicide and public health, finance and ethics, national identity, arts and peacebuilding, and devolution and citizenship.

Since 2020, CTPI has welcomed applications for two new fellowships for scholars whose work relates to public theology:

1. the IASH-CTPI Duncan Forrester Fellowship for emerging scholars
2. the Combe Trust Fellowships for established scholars

The Combe Trust Fellowship is a two to three month visiting fellowship for researchers in the areas of public theology, religion and religious education, physiology and health, Scots law, peacebuilding, prison reform, psychiatry, psychology and neuroscience, moral philosophy, natural sciences or the arts (e.g. theatre, film, dance, visual arts). The fellowship is intended to encourage outstanding interdisciplinary research, international scholarly collaboration, and networking activities of visiting Fellows together with academics from the centre and from the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH). The fellowship particularly welcomes applications related to the themes of the Institute Project on Decoloniality (IPD'24) taking place at IASH from 2021 to 2024. This project invites scholars from around the world to visit Edinburgh and conduct research on the theme of decoloniality, broadly understood.

George Combe was a Scottish lawyer and founder of the Edinburgh Phrenological Society.

The IASH-CTPI Duncan Forrester Fellowship is a visiting fellowship of up to ten months for emerging scholars working in any of the research areas of the centre, particularly public theology, in relation to areas such as: peacebuilding and the arts; theology, politics, and migration; theology and environmental ethics; and theology, law and justice. Like the Combe Trust Fellowship, the Duncan Forrester Fellowship particularly welcomes applications linked to the themes of the Institute Project on Decoloniality (IPD'24) taking place at IASH from 2021 to 2024.

Duncan B. Forrester was a Scottish theologian and the founder of the centre.

On 30 March 2023 at New College, the centre is welcoming a group of international scholars from the 'Political Theologies After Christendom' conference (supported by the CTPI) to Edinburgh to share their reflections on the importance of theology & religious studies in their contexts and in Ukraine, Russia, and Georgia's present political moment. Speakers include Dmitry Biriukov, Kristine Margvelashvili, Valeriy Sesikov, and Tikhon Vasilyev. Respondents are Kateryna Budz and Tiffany Butler.

Following the School of Divinity's highly successful literary festival the Winter Tales in 2021, the CTPI sponsored the three-day New College Festival – Books & Belief in November 2022. The festival explored the impact of religion, humanism, and secularism on literature and why prominent thinkers and writers have interacted creatively with these diverse beliefs. Rather than talking about religions more generally, festival speakers explored such themes as personal belief systems and faith, loss of faith, challenges to faith, negotiation of belief systems, generational differences and divisions, and different ways of interconnecting secular and spiritual worlds. Speakers included Peter Mathieson, N. T. Wright, Helen Bond, Joan Taylor, authors Dina Nayeri, Chritra Ramaswamy, poets Kevin MacNeil, Alycia Pirohamed, Alan Spence, and former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams.  

CTPI organized the symposium Religion in the Public Square: 20 Years Since 9/11 at the University of Edinburgh in 2021. Religion is central to the public and political dynamics which emerged in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Whether it is a rallying cry for unity or a cause for division and conflict, religion remains a controversial topic and is often used to incite violence. The clash between Islam and Christianity and Christianity and Islam is in the forefront of both American and European perceptions of religion, especially in the aftermath of 9/11. This symposium brought together leading experts in theology, philosophy, sociology as well as cultural and political studies to reflect on the enduring legacy and essential lessons to be learnt from 9/11 and what they might reveal about the significance of religion for politics today.{{Cite web |title=Religion in the Public Square: 20 Years Since 9/11 |url=https://ctpi.div.ed.ac.uk/events/religion-in-the-public-square-20-years-since-9-11/ |access-date=2023-03-16 |website=Centre for Theology and Public Issues |language=en-GB}} Presenters included Farid Hafez, Mona Kanwal Sheikh, Brian Klug, Atalia Omer, Ulrich Schmiedel, and Jayne Svenungsson.

In August 2019, CTPI hosted an art exhibition: Art, Conflict and Remembering: The Murals of the Bogside Artists.{{Cite web |title=Art, Conflict and Remembering: The murals of the Bogside artists |url=https://ctpi.div.ed.ac.uk/events/art-conflict-and-remembering-the-murals-of-the-bog-side-artists/ |access-date=2023-03-16 |website=Centre for Theology and Public Issues |language=en-GB}} This powerful and highly topical exhibition told the story of the Troubles through the twelve large scale murals of The People's Gallery in Derry, Northern Ireland].[https://discovernorthernireland.com/things-to-do/the-peoples-gallery-of-murals-p691021 "The People's Gallery of Murals"] The Bogside was the epicentre of the Troubles that began with a peaceful civil rights march in 1968 and ended with the Good Friday agreement in 1998. The murals by the Bogside Artists depict seminal events from the 30-year conflict as experienced by the artists and the local community. Unlike most other murals in Northern Ireland, these murals are not party-political or sectarian. As such, they provided talking points for processing the painful past and opportunities for mutually respectful listening as a condition for lasting peace. The exhibition received a very positive reception with over 1500 visitors from around the world.{{Cite web |title=Art, Conflict, and Remembering - Rainy Hall Corridor Exhibition |url=https://ctpi.div.ed.ac.uk/events/art-conflict-and-remembering/ |access-date=2023-03-16 |website=Centre for Theology and Public Issues |language=en-GB}}

CTPI regularly sponsors lecture series, film screenings, and colloquiums on topics of public concern. In response to the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court to remove women's constitutional right to abortion in the United States in 2022, CTPI hosted The Globalization of the Culture Wars? a colloquium of leading scholars who work at the intersection of religion, gender, and politics to analyse and assess the role of public theology in the current gender- and geopolitical moment. In 2020, CTPI organized a panel on 25th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide – the worst atrocity on European soil since WWII - to remember the atrocities that took place and to consider continuing tensions and prospects for reconciliation. In October 2021, CTPI hosted a film screening of Anote's Ark in collaboration with Take One Action and the Edinburgh Interfaith Association, followed by Q&A with Dr Seforosa Carroll.

The current director of CTPI is Professor Jolyon Mitchell. Mitchell's research is in the areas of communications, arts, ethics and religion, with a special interest in violence and peacebuilding. The deputy director is Dr Ulrich Schmiedel and the committee members include Rachel Muers and Drs Caleb Froehlich and Jowita Thor. CTPI's executive committee includes Rev Dr Sandy Forsyth, Dr Suzanna Miller, Jolyon Mitchell, and Dr Ulrich Schmiedel. Advisory board members include Simon Barrow and Douglas Hamilton; Drs Alexander Chow, James Eglinton, Harriet Harris, Lesley Orr, Shadaab Rahemtulla, Joshua Ralston, Emma Wild-Wood, George Wilkes; and Profs Alison Jack, Christine Bell, Suzanne Ewing, Gordon Graham, Oliver O'Donovan, and Steve Yearley.

In September 2022, the scholarly publisher Wiley Blackwell released The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Religion and Peace.{{Cite web |title=The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Religion and Peace |url=https://ctpi.div.ed.ac.uk/research_projects/the-wiley-blackwell-companion-to-religion-and-peace/ |access-date=2023-03-20 |website=Centre for Theology and Public Issues |language=en-GB}} CTPI director Jolyon Mitchell and executive committee member Susana Miller are the volume's editors with Francesca Po and Martyn Percy. This volume brings together a team of renowned scholars to deliver an authoritative and interdisciplinary sourcebook that addresses the key concepts, history, theories, models, resources, and practices in the complex and ambivalent relationship between religion and peace. The editors have included contributions from a wide range of perspectives and locations that reflect diverse methods and approaches.

File:Peacebuilding and the Arts.jpg

From 2011to 2014, the CTPI and the Kroc Institute for Peace at the University of Notre Dame, now part of the Keough School of Global Affairs, ran a series of interdisciplinary and international workshops as part of the Peacebuilding through Media Arts (PMA){{Cite web |title=PMA |url=https://ctpi.div.ed.ac.uk/research_projects/pma/ |access-date=2023-03-20 |website=Centre for Theology and Public Issues |language=en-GB}} project to foster a critical conversation around the theory and practice of peacebuilding through the arts. Jolyon Mitchell, Giselle Vincett, Theodora Hawksley, and Hal Culbertson edited most of these workshop conversations and other ongoing conversations into the volume Peacebuilding and the Arts (Palgrave MacMillan, 2020).{{Cite web |title=Peacebuilding and the Arts |url=https://ctpi.div.ed.ac.uk/resources/peacebuilding-and-the-arts/ |access-date=2023-03-20 |website=Centre for Theology and Public Issues |language=en-GB}} This volume is divided into five sections (on Visual Arts, Music, Literature, Film and Theatre/Dance), with over 20 authors offering overviews of each art form, case studies from around the globe and critical reflections on how the arts can contribute to peacebuilding.

Another book developed through CTPI's Peacebuilding through Media Arts (PMA) project is Theodora Hawksley's Peacebuilding and Catholic Social Teaching (University of Notre Dame Press, 2020).{{Cite web |title=Peacebuilding and Catholic Social Teaching |url=http://ctpi.div.ed.ac.uk/resources/peacebuilding-and-catholic-social-teaching/ |access-date=2023-03-20 |website=Centre for Theology and Public Issues |language=en-GB}} As one of the first scholarly monographs dedicated exclusively to theology, ethics, and peacebuilding, this book endeavors to make Catholicism's robust tradition of social teaching on peace better known and understood, and to encourage its continued development in light of the lived experience of Catholics engaged in peacebuilding and conflict transformation worldwide.
