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’.

The Faculty of Theology at the University of the Free State’s (UFS) Jonathan Edwards Centre enjoys a good deal of prominence on the Yale University’s web page. This occurrence is another realisation in the UFS Faculty of Theology’s pursuit of being an international acknowledged theological faculty.

The UFS Jonathan Edwards Centre serves as a research, education and publication hub for the study of Edwards and evangelical history. Jonathan Edwards was an important American theologian, philosopher and, more specifically, America's greatest contributor to mission theology in Southern Africa.
