Rev. Dr Kevin Schembri was awarded the Emerging Scholar Theological Book Award of the European Society for Catholic Theology for 2017-2018, for his book titled 'Oikonomia, Diviorce and Remarriage in the Eastern Orthodox Tradition'. Dr Schembri is lecturer at the Department of Pastoral Theology, Liturgy and Canon Law, within the Faculty of Theology.
The award was presented during the International Congress of the European Society for Catholic Theology, held in Bratislava, Slovakia, between 28 and 31 August 2019. More than 200 scholars and theologians from all over Europe participated at the event which marked the 30th anniversary of the Society.
Founded in 1989, the European Society for Catholic Theology aims to promote the academic discipline of Catholic theology, primarily at the intersection where Church and society meet, and particularly through engagement with the many questions that challenge both the Christian faith and contemporary European thought. Through its broad network of national and regional sections, the Society encourages the communication, promotion and support of theological education, research and services.
