Dr. Heaney was ordained a priest in the Church of Ireland in 2002 and has been active in parishes in Ireland, England, Tanzania, and the United States of America.Dr. Heaney has experience in teaching and ministry on three continents. He travels extensively and is often invited to lecture, consult, and preach throughout the wider Church and Anglican Communion. As a theologian of culture, he seeks to nourish theological imagination that is ever cognizant of social location and the theological inevitability and necessity of contextualization and inter-contextualization. As an Anglican theologian, he has a particular interest in modern World Anglicanism and the emergence of a renewed Anglican Communion. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alexandria/church-tomorrow-book-launch-with-the-rev-canon-stephanie-spellers/100001872547212119 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, virtual, spiritual - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fchurch-tomorrow-book-launch-with-the-rev-canon-stephanie-spellers-tickets-1872547212119 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Alexandria - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Lifelong Learning at VTS - **lat**: 38.821044 - **long**: -77.0929768 - **full address**: Lifelong Learning at VTS, 3630 Bishop Walker Circle, Alexandria, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Virginia Theological Seminary (https://allevents.in/org/virginia-theological-seminary/22512914) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/88d24766b6bc35da42b44cf9b67c8760da7fc1ac792b2083d5631f4a7e151261-rimg-w1200-h600-dcd9c941-gmir.jpg?v=1762454988 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/a54e76da90dc0f2922aa7e39658863c56122a933dcbcea026b5d40b9f0386b18-rimg-w400-h400-dcdaca42-gmir.jpg?v=1762454987 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Tue, 02 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Lifelong Learning at VTS, 3630 Bishop Walker Circle, Alexandria, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Virginia Theological Seminary - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, literary-art, virtual, spiritual - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Church Tomorrow?
