The Merciful Humility of God
03 March 2019
St Paul's Cathedral, London EC4M 8AD
In fourth century North Africa, a young man called Augustine spent years searching for a way to satisfy his intellectual and spiritual curiosity. When Augustine finally ‘converted’ to the Christian faith, he wrote that what he found there, and nowhere else, was the ‘humble God’. Nowhere else had he found a God who comes to live with human beings, sharing their lives and even their death. In Christianity he found a transforming faith, centred on love, that invited rather than demanded or judged.
And it is not only Augustine who has encountered the merciful humility of God as the most powerful force imaginable. Jane Williams will explore how God works for our salvation in ways so gentle, so subtle and so apparently vulnerable that it is easy to overlook their force, calling us to walk in the paths of humility for our own sake and for the sake of the world.
Dr Jane Williams is Director of Studies at St Mellitus College in London. She is the author of academic and popular works of theology including Faces of Christ: Jesus in Art and Approaching Easter. Her latest book, The Merciful Humility of God, is the Bloomsbury Lent Book for 2019.

15 - 17 March 2019
De Vere Horwood Estate, Milton Keynes
We believe that every woman has a special God given purpose. We have a passion to see women engage in their community and know that you can change your world just by being yourself.
Join us at Horwood House for MODIFY 2019. Our theme takes us to the heart of what Activate is all about- reaching the lost. As Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:20-22, the way to do this is to find common ground, embracing what is similar with those you meet, without compromising on truth. Like a chameleon, we can adapt and modify our ourselves to make ourselves more approachable, more welcoming, without changing who we are and what we believe.

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 1 Corinthians 9:20-22

Jesus Christ: The Unanswered Questions
27 March 2019
St Paul's Cathedral
Who do you say I am? Jesus asked his disciples this question and for 2,000 years Christians have wrestled with this, the defining question of our faith. Jesus led a completely familiar and recognisable life, but also one that was utterly radical and unrecognisable: a unique divine moment in the history of our world.
How on earth can we speak about this, the great mystery at the heart of Christianity?
Rowan Williams says that how we understand Jesus Christ is central to how we understand everything: creation, our faith, our world and ourselves. He says that if we grasp the mysterious reality that Christ is the heart of creation itself, not just an extraordinary human life, it will open a deeply affirmative approach to creation, and offer radical, transformative insights into ethics and politics. He says it will do nothing less than make a new place for us to live - in hope, imagination and action.
Dr Rowan Williams is the Master of Magdalene College Cambridge and was formerly Archbishop of Canterbury. A poet, theologian and author, his numerous academic and popular books include Christ: The Heart of Creation (Bloomsbury 2018) and God With Us: The Meaning Of The Cross And Resurrection - Then And Now (SPCK 2017).
The evening will be chaired by Sarah Mullally, Bishop of London, and include plenty of time for questions and answers.
BSL interpretation will be provided at this event: please let us know if you require seats in the area reserved for this.

Imagining Peace
30 March 2019
Royal Foundation of St Katharine, 2 Butcher Row, London E14 8DS
Autumn 2018 is the centenary of the end of the 1914-18 war - ‘the war to end all wars’. Since then, there has not been a single day when the world has been at peace. Why is peace so hard, and conflict so universal?
Jesus says that blessed – happy – are the peacemakers. But he doesn’t say it’s easy. In this reflective day, we will look at peace and conflict within ourselves, in our communities and in politics. We will explore the obstacles and opportunities for transformation through Bible stories, our own experiences, and the stories we tell about ourselves and others, including Pádraig Ó Tuama’s experiences of peacemaking and conflict resolution in Northern Ireland.
Pádraig Ó Tuama is a poet and theologian based in Belfast. He teaches on religion, storytelling and conflict resolution, and is the leader of the Corrymeela Community, the longest-established ecumenical peace and reconciliation community in Northern Ireland. His books include In the Shelter: Finding a Home in the World (Hodder 2015) and Daily Prayer with the Corrymeela Community (Canterbury Press 2017).
We are very grateful to our partners at St Katharine’s for their generosity in co-hosting our reflective days.
£45 per reflective day. Bursaries are available for those for whom the charge would make it difficult to attend: please contact us for details.

God made Strange
07 April 2019
St Paul's Cathedral
God comes to us in the person of Jesus, and we can feel more connected to God through his humanity: he lives a human life, full of sorrow, joy, relationships and events. But in the cross, God is also revealed to us to be utterly different from our inevitably anthropomorphised pictures.
Lucy Winkett says that the cross is essential for a living faith but it is also genuinely scandalous, and just as importantly, ultimately beyond our comprehending. God died in the midst of shouting and chaos, executed as a criminal, and this is both a political, historical death and a cosmic event. In preparation for Holy Week, she will explore some of what we can and can’t say about the cross, and some of what it might mean for our faith, prayer and actions.
The Revd Lucy Winkett is Rector of St James’s Piccadilly, and was formerly Precentor at St Paul’s Cathedral. She writes and broadcasts regularly on religion, music and contemporary culture, and her book, Our Sound is Our Wound was commissioned by Rowan Williams as his recommended Lent Book for 2011.

Passion and Resurrection: Living Holy Week
13 April 2019
St Paul's Cathedral
Holy Week and Easter are the heart of the Christian year. The unfolding services of Holy Week offer us the opportunity to make our own pilgrimage through Jesus’ last week. It moves from his triumphant entry into Jerusalem, to the Last Supper where he foretells his death and gives his disciples the last great commandment, his anguished prayer in Gethsemane, the shocking events of his betrayal, trial and execution, the desolation of his death, and finally to the dawn of a new world on Easter Sunday.
But it’s also true that these stories can become so familiar that we can be in danger of losing our sense of their revolutionary message about the nature of God. On the eve of Holy Week, James Milne will explore how this great cycle of services evolved and how we can fully enter into them, allowing them to reach our hearts and change our lives.
The Revd James Milne is Sacrist at St Paul’s Cathedral, sharing responsibility for its liturgy. He was previously Convenor of the Liturgy Committee of the Scottish Episcopal Church.

The Paradox of Freedom
05 May 2019
St Paul's Cathedral
Jesus says that the truth will set us free. But it turns out freedom is a surprisingly complex idea. What does it really mean to be free? What kind of freedom do we need in the modern world? How can Christian visions of freedom engage with contrasting ideologies and traditions?
Graham Tomlin will explore a distinctively Christian vision of freedom set against a backdrop of rising polarisation, division and competing views of what makes for good social and personal liberties in our times. He will offer a vision of how and why Christian understandings of freedom work for personal flourishing and build stronger communities than many popular secular versions of the idea.
The Rt Revd Graham Tomlin is the Bishop of Kensington and the President of St Mellitus College for training clergy in the Diocese of London. He has taught theology at Oxford University and his latest book is Bound to be Free: The Paradox of Freedom (Bloomsbury 2017).

Radical Discipleship: Caring for the Stranger
18 May 2019
St Paul's Cathedral
Krish Kandiah says that hospitality to the stranger is the key to intimacy with God, and when we answer his call to compassionate action we will find it life-giving.
This revolutionary message runs through the whole history of God’s relationship with humanity. He calls the people of the Promised Land to provide for ‘the alien, the orphan and the widow’. Jesus teaches that in caring for prisoners, the poor and the sick we are caring for him. The people of the early church lived together, providing for each other’s needs in ways that were radical then and now.
But in the 21st century we can feel too busy, too overwhelmed, even to begin to find a way to live this out in our own lives. The need seems enormous and what we can offer can feel so small.
Krish Kandiah will explore why God calls us to this radical discipleship and what happens when we answer the call. He will also offer suggestions for finding ways that are practical, joyful and sustainable in our own lives.
Dr Krish Kandiah is the Founder and Director of the adoption and fostering charity Home for Good, an ambassador for Tearfund and the author of numerous books including God is Stranger (Hodder 2017). He lives in Oxfordshire with his wife and seven children, including fostered and adopted children.

Holy Envy: Finding God in the Faith of Others
30 May 2019
St Paul's Cathedral
Christians are taught that God is everywhere, and many of us experience the sacred in unexpected places: in nature, in friends and strangers, in music and the arts. But can we also encounter God in the faith of other people?
Barbara Brown Taylor left parish ministry to teach world religion at a college in rural Georgia. To her surprise, what she learnt from decades of living with the truth claims of the world’s great faiths is not – contrary to popular opinion – that all religions are alike, but something subtler, more mysterious and more life-giving: a ‘holy envy’ of the riches of other traditions, and the chance to be born afresh and more deeply within her own tradition.
She will explore some of the gifts, questions and paradoxes that she found along the way. If there is only one God, why are there so many religions? Can our faith be improved by the faith of others, even those we fundamentally disagree with? And is the Holy Spirit at work in all this?
The Revd Barbara Brown Taylor is an American Episcopal priest, theologian, Professor of Religion, and New York Times best-selling author. In 2014 TIME magazine named her as one if its 100 most influential people in the world. Her best-selling guides to the spiritual life include An Altar on the World and Learning to Walk in the Dark. Her new book is Holy Envy: Finding God in the Faith of Others (Canterbury Press 2019).
The evening will be chaired by Tricia Hillas, Canon Pastor of St Paul’s Cathedral, and include plenty of time for questions and answers.
BSL interpretation will be provided at this event: please let us know if you require seats in the area reserved for this.

Silence for Beginners
01 June 2019
Royal Foundation of St Katharine
Silence is something we can long for or dread, but it’s often said that silence is the country where the saints learn their language. From the earliest years of Christianity to the present day, it’s where men and women have sought, and found, God. But as many who have tried it know, it is not always as simple as it sounds.
This day will provide a ‘beginner’s guide’ to silence, with reflections on its nature, joys, pitfalls and uses. It will also include significant periods when we will keep silence.
The Revd Richard Carter is an Associate Priest at St Martin in The Fields, one of the busiest churches in London. For many years he was a member of the Melanesian Brotherhood in the Solomon Islands, where silence was a daily part of the spiritual life of the community. In London he works with The Connection, London’s busiest homelessness charity, and is the founder and leader of the Nazareth Community, which aims to build a practice of silence into daily life in the city.
£45. Please book early at www.stpauls.co.uk/adultlearning to ensure your place. Bursaries are available for those for whom the charge would make it difficult to attend: please contact us for details.
This is a joint day with our partners at The Royal Foundation of St Katharine, and we are very grateful to them for their hospitality in co-hosting our reflective days. The days take place at the Royal Foundation of St Katharine in Limehouse, East London and include reflective worship, lunch and other refreshments. (www.rfsk.org.uk).

What Did Jesus Look Like?
02 June 2019
St Paul's Cathedral
Everyone can conjure up the traditional image of Jesus: a handsome, white man with flowing locks and pristine linen robes, and most people know that isn’t what he really looked like. Does that matter?
Joan Taylor says that the historical evidence suggests he would have had dark skin and short hair, and would have worn rough, even scruffy, clothes. She says it matters how we picture Jesus because it cuts to the heart of his message: he aligned himself with the poor and this would have been obvious from how he looked.
She will explore both the historical evidence for redrawing our image of what Jesus looked like, and what effect it might have on our understanding of his teaching if he were depicted more accurately, as one of the have-nots.
Professor Joan Taylor is Professor of Christian Origins at King’s College, London. She is the author of What Did Jesus Look Like? (Bloomsbury 2018), has edited The Body in Biblical, Christian and Jewish Texts and was historical consultant for the 2018 film Mary Magdalene.

Every Tribe: Saints in a Diverse World
07 July 2019
St Paul's Cathedral
The Bible visualises a new heaven and a new earth with people of every language and nation, so why are all the saints in our paintings and stained glass windows white? The bias in the church’s storytelling means that many are surprised to discover that St Augustine is North African and St George is an immigrant with Turkish and Palestinian parents.
A new book of essays edited by Sharon Prentis uncovers stories of holy, inspired and inspiring lives from all over the world. It celebrates the true diversity of the saints and challenges the church to become what it is meant to be: a rainbow people of God serving the diverse needs of a diverse world.
The Revd Dr Sharon Prentis is Dean of Black and Minority Ethnic Affairs and Intercultural Mission Enabler at the Church of England in Birmingham. She is an honorary research fellow in the Department of Theology and Religion at the University of Birmingham and the editor of Every Tribe: Stories of Diverse Saints Serving a Diverse World (SPCK 2019).

The Telling - Vision: the imagined testimony of medieval abbess Hildegard of Bingen
19 February 2027
Heath Street Baptist Church, 84 Heath St, London NW3 1DN
A magical evening of candlelight, atmosphere and song
Blurring the boundaries of drama/concert, Vision explores the extraordinary life of the visionary medieval abbess Hildegard of Bingen, alongside her haunting and distinctive chant. Vision aims to give an insight into the painful and visceral visionary experiences Hildegard suffered throughout her life. It is “an imagined testimony” as Hildegard, read by actress Teresa Banham, lies on her deathbed, revisiting and re-experiencing meaningful episodes from her past.
The performance is an hour long and there will be a chance for Q and As and to meet the artists afterwards.
Performed by The Telling:
Clare Norburn & Ariane Prüssner voices
Leah Stuttard harp
with Teresa Banham as Hildegard
Tickets will also be available on the door.
