Guest speaker
We are very pleased to welcome this year's speaker, Rev Dr Phillip Hewett,
Minister Emeritus of the Unitarian Church of Vancouver. Phillip will offer
his 'Reflections on a Canadian Unitarian Identity' to the conference in
Ottawa.
Phillip Hewitt studied at the University of Oxford, England for a B.A.
(1949) and M.A. (1951) before crossing the pond to undertake further studies
at the Harvard Divinity School (S.T.M., 1953). In 1969, he was
bestowed with the Doctor of Sacred Theology by the Starr King School for
Ministry.
Rev Dr Hewitt has a distinguished, fifty year history of service to the
ministry across the world, serving churches in Montreal, Quebec (1953-54);
Ipswich, England (1954-56); Vancouver, British Columbia (1956-91); and
Victoria, British Columbia (1991-92).
An accomplished writer, Rev Dr Hewett has published many books and articles,
including An Unfettered Faith: the Religion of a Unitarian (1956);
On Being a Unitarian (1968); and The Unitarian Way (1985).
However, his principal historical work is Unitarians in Canada (1978,
2nd edition 1995). He has been President of both the British and Canadian
Unitarian Historical Societies and Vice President of the Unitarian
Universalist Historical Society. He has also served three terms on the board
of the Canadian Unitarian Council. A strong advocate for the environment,
family planning, disarmament, and peace, Rev Dr Hewett has also been given
awarded recognition by the International Association for Religious Freedom
(1983) and the Unitarian Universalist Association annual award for
distinguished service (1992).
We look forward to your joining us to welcome Rev Dr Hewitt to Collegium
in November, 2009.
