The 2024 memorial lecture in honour of the late Revd Canon Dr Michael Green will be held at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, at 7pm on Thursday 8 February.
Michael Green was perhaps the best known evangelist within the Church of England, who had a distinguished ministry as a priest and theologian, having been Rector of St Aldates Oxford and Professor of Evangelism at Regent College Vancouver. Archbishop George Carey requested that he return to the UK from Canada to help lead the Decade of Evangelism in 1990. Halfway through that decade he became a lecturer at Wycliffe Hall Oxford, a position he held (latterly in an honorary capacity) for the next 25 years until he died on 6th February 2019. It is an honour to host this public lecture in memory of Michael's life and ministry.
The lecture will be given by Professor Paul Copan, Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics at Palm Beach Atlantic University, on 'The Naturalists Are Declaring the Glory of God'. It is a free event and all are welcome to attend.
Paul Copan (Ph.D., Philosophy, Marquette University) is the Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics at Palm Beach Atlantic University, West Palm Beach, Florida and teaches the M.A. in Philosophy of Religion at PBA.

In addition to writing many journal articles and book chapters/articles, he is author or editor of over forty books, including Loving Wisdom and The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Religion.
