Gloucester Cathedral | Tuesday 13 May
We are delighted to welcome our speaker for the annual Michael Perham University and Cathedral Lecture this year, the Very Reverend John Witcombe, Dean of Coventry.
During the last 12 years John has led the Cathedral in its role as a thriving spiritual, social and artistic centre in the city, including whilst Coventry was UK City of Culture. After its destruction in the second world war, the Cathedral created an international ministry in the area of reconciliation.
John has built relationships with churches and communities in Germany and around the world, visiting many communities who are engaged in the work of reconciliation, often inducting them into the Community of the Cross of Nails. He will be sharing stories of reconciliation which speak to our divided world.
The Michael Perham University and Cathedral Lecture series is named in commemoration of Michael Perham. As well as being Bishop of Gloucester, Michael was Pro-Chancellor of University of Gloucestershire for many years, served as Chair of the University Council, and was instrumental in developing closer relationships between the University and the Diocese.
This year, the lecture takes place in Gloucester Cathedral on Tuesday 13th May at 7pm. All are very welcome to attend this free lecture, but booking is required, so please book your free place on Eventbrite.
