The Company of Heaven
A series introducing four great, revolutionary figures of faith, prayer, theology and action who have deepened and expanded our understanding of what Christianity is really about, from across the centuries.
Throughout Christian history there have been great, revolutionary figures of faith, prayer, theology and action who have deepened and expanded our understanding of what Christianity is really about. They have shown us something of what it means to live close to heaven: to seek the company of God and sometimes find it. This series will introduce four from across the centuries.
These events will take place in the Wren Suite in the crypt of St Paul’s Cathedral. Admission is free but seating is limited and registration is essential.
Films of the talks will be available shortly after the event date in our learning library.
We are very grateful to Benefact Trust for their generous support of this programme.
