Looking to the Future: Finding God in our Endings

Lent Lectures: Issues of Faith

Wednesdays 2.30pm in the Cathedral quire and available as a recording afterwards

A weekly series of talks hosted by the Dean and Canons with a series of speakers helping us to reflect on issues of the day through the eyes of faith. Each talk will be followed by the opportunity for questions.

Growing older may bring us many challenges, not least increasing awareness of our own mortality. In a world that promotes independence and autonomy and where differing approaches to dying and death exist, how do we learn to value the invitations that ageing and dying bring us to let go, to be, to wait, to deepen our engagement with God.
