The Theology Division of the School of Theology at Fuller Seminary welcomes the Right Reverend Rowan Williams, 104th Archbishop of Canterbury, as the 2018 Payton Lecturer. "Human Rights and Human Identity" :: This lecture will examine where recent tensions have come fromboth in regard to Christians arguing that the idea of rights is a mistake, obscuring our dependence on God and one another and reinstating a legal relation in the place of grace and communion; and in regard to the sense that rights activists are pressing an individualistic and morally empty picture of human identity. It is true that the language of entitlement and legal enforceability is at best awkward and at worst risky. But can we restate this in terms of a proper self-recognition as a bearer of God's image and a potential minister of the gifts of the Spirit in the community?
