The Right Revd Dr Graham Tomlin will help celebrate 500 years of St Margaret's Church in the opening lecture of Westminster Abbey Institute's autumn season. The founder of the Centre for Cultural Witness will talk about Christianity in public life and how faith can build a stronger society. He will examine recent events and cultural moods, talk about how they reveal a number of crises in our contemporary life and how a renewed turn to Christian faith might help resolve these in the longer term.
Graham has recently written for Seen & Unseen on key topics related to public life.
The language of politics can’t domesticate religion
Sorry seems to be the hardest word
The trouble with identity politics
On liberty’s limits: why Mill was wrong about freedom
