Edward King Lecture

Join the lecture on Saturday 7th March at 3pm in Lincoln Cathedral’s Chapter House.

This year’s Edward King Lecture focuses on the subject ‘When the World Is Unravelling: What Faith and Science Tell Us About Living Wisely‘.

In a time of global strain and uncertainty, questions of meaning and human flourishing press in with renewed urgency. This lecture explores how a theology of wellbeing and the practice of spiritual intelligence deepen and illuminate the Church’s inherited faith tradition. It invites us to rediscover the Church as a community of belonging, where wisdom, hope and energy are channelled into living well together in a fragile world.
