Call for Papers: Liturgy and Creation 2026, 25-27 August 2026

Society for Liturgical Study: Conference and Biennial General Meeting
25–27 August 2026, Hinsley Hall, Leeds (UK)

We are excited to invite contributions for the 2026 conference hosted by the Society for Liturgical Study. Mindful of the increasingly urgent environment and climate crises and their social consequences, exacerbated by the prevailing urban mindset of Western cultures, the conference seeks to explore connections between liturgy and creation in celebration and lament. It is hoped that the conference theme will attract speakers from a range of disciplines, drawing together insights from academic study and liturgical practice in order to encourage a fresh engagement with creation through liturgy.

Abstracts of approximately 250 words should be submitted to [email protected] no later than 10 April 2026; submissions should include a title and a brief outline of the proposed line of enquiry, as well as an indication of the envisaged length of the contribution. We are open to a range of formats, from short papers of 10 minutes to longer presentations of up to 45 minutes. Successful applicants will be notified by early May 2026.
