Presentations interlaced with improvisation; musical performances framing in-depth conversations; discussions about contemporary literature, faith, and the sacred. Interactive and dynamic, evening keynotes will cap each day with energy, variety, and music.

What are the implications of the Creed for academics, clergy, and artists today? These conference-wide lectures will begin each day, following chapel, with in-depth theological explorations of key topics from the Nicene Creed and their impact on theology and art.

Inspired by additional themes from the Creed, these lecture-and-panel presentations will reflect on art’s capacity to help us engage theologically with contemporary issues. Seminars will be offered each day by a variety of speakers on a range of key topics.

Daily chapel services will open each full day of programming, including prayer, worship, and the Word. The conference will conclude with a full worship service in Duke Chapel on Sunday morning, with Lord Rowan Williams preaching on a key topic from the Creed.

Applied, hands-on workshops offer a chance to integrate the themes and material presented in the plenaries and seminars. Workshop faculty includes a range of practicing artists—such as documentary producers, creative writers, dancers, and church musicians.

Composed of musicians from the top musical groups in the country and conducted by DITA Director Dr. Jeremy Begbie, the New Caritas Orchestra will present a full-length concert on Saturday evening. Tickets included with registration.
