Tomáš Halík is a Czech Catholic priest, philosopher, and theologian, whose widely translated work engages with important theological issues of our time—atheism, secularity, pluralism, and the future of faith and the church. His approach to these issues has been shaped by his own personal experience. Halík served as a clandestine priest under the Communist regime, and he was subsequently involved in the democratic renewal of his country as an advisor to Václav Havel. Today, he remains an important figure in Czech public life as a Professor of Sociology at Charles University, alongside his fruitful ministry to “seekers” at the Academic Parish of Prague. Tomáš Halík: A Cambridge Conference will be an opportunity to acknowledge, engage with, and celebrate his ongoing life and work, with a series of keynote lectures, a panel discussion, and short papers.
