Conference on Theology in the Caribbean Today

The 2025 Conference on Theology in the Caribbean Today (CTCT) invites scholars, theologians, pastors, activists, and community leaders to gather for a dynamic and timely theological exchange under the theme Prophetic Responses to Contemporary Challenges. This year’s conference takes place July 7 to 11, in Barbados, and will feature over 30 groundbreaking papers that explore how theology can serve as a liberating, healing, and prophetic force in the lives of Caribbean people. The Conference will engage deeply with the region’s lived realities—addressing ongoing colonial legacies, economic inequality, and spiritual disconnection. Key themes include: Prophetic resistance and decolonisation through Carnival, Rastafarianism, and storytelling Gender and ecclesial reform, including presentations on the possibility of Catholic women deacons, the role of the laity, and theological reflections on marriage Youth disengagement and trauma, especially among Black Caribbean males and marginalised communities Mental and spiritual health, with reflections on meditation, art, and communal healing Ecological and socio-political responsibility, including sustainability, reparatory justice, and synodality Theological formation and education, addressing seminary training and archival research challenges As the region faces evolving spiritual landscapes and societal crises, CTCT 2025 offers a prophetic space for critical reflection, solidarity, and transformation—where theology does not remain in the abstract but walks with the people. Virtual and in-person attendance are encouraged. Register now: ctctsec1994@gmail.com / @
