On 20 October 2022, the University of the Free State (UFS) Faculty of Theology and Religion will present the distinguished Tutu-Jonker lecture in honour of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Prof Willie Jonker. These two theologians are well-known in South Africa for their emphasis on reconciliation, and the series of lectures is a tribute to their reconciliatory efforts.
This will be the first in-person Tutu-Jonker lecture since COVID-19 and the passing of Archbishop Tutu. The keynote speaker, Dr Lazarus Mokobake, Chaplain in the South African Defence Force, will deliver the lecture, themed: ‘Faltering resilience – a nation in need of conciliation’.
Registrations close on 14 October 2022.
Faculty of Theology wants to serve churches better

The Faculty of Theology at the University of the Free State (UFS) recently approached Prof. Dons Kritzinger, previously from the University of Pretoria, to do an investigation on how this faculty can render a service to a wider group of churches in the Free State and Northern Cape. According to Prof. Kritzinger, the faculty must deliberately reach out to more churches. “The faculty can offer a lot; however, not many people know about it,” said Prof. Kritzinger. Prof. François Tolmie, Dean of the UFS Faculty of Theology said the faculty would thoroughly discuss Prof. Kritzinger’s report and on these grounds they would launch new actions. At Prof. Kritzinger’s feedback discussion were front, from the left: Prof. Kritzinger and Prof. Tolmie; back: Prof. Rian Venter from the Department of Systematic Theology at the UFS.
