4:00pm-5:00pm on Sunday 22 March
Great St.Mary's Church, Senate House Hill, CB2 3PQ
Join us for a wonderful Festival Evensong with beautiful choral music and keynote preacher The Brother Sam SSF on the theme of hope and the ecological crisis. This service will be followed at 5pm by a drinks reception and a panel discussion.
The panel will comprise Brother Sam, Richard Davis Director of Contextual Theology and Director of the Centre for Faith in Public Life at Wesley House, Don Broom Emeritus Professor of Animal Welfare, and Charlotte Hammer Assistant Professor at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk.
Brother Sam joined the Society of St Francis (SSF) in 1974, and has lived at several SSF houses – including in Cambridge, when he was Vicar of St Bene’t’s Church. His ministry and leadership have particularly focused on putting into practice an ‘integral ecology’ (Pope Francis Laudato Si) that is environmental, social and spiritual. He believes that the Way of Francis and Clare offers a radical reorientation of relationship for us and for the world.
