This year we have a sixth, bonus lecture presented by the well known presenter of Channel 4 News Jon Snow. Jon gave an interesting and inspiring talk on the subject of “The Media: Why the Worst May Be Over, and the Best is Yet to Come”. Jon looks at how the technology that brings us the news has changed over his career, right up to the changes to the news brought about by camera phones and social media.

In the fifth of our Lent Lecture series, Martin Hughes, an Oxford Graduate in Ancient History and Theology and former lecturer at Durham University takes us on a journey through the archeology of ancient Israel and explores how this relates to the stories we have in the Old Testament.

Martin Cooper of interdenominational organisation Navigators gave us an inspiring lecture exploring how we can continue our Christian lives into the second part of life. Using examples from the bible of people who are remembered most for things that they did towards the end of life, and a few where they lost their way he gives us everybody a chance to consider whether their best spiritual years may still be ahead.

The third lecture of our 2012 series is from Andrew Fellows of the L’Abri Fellowship in Hampshire, with his personal view of the current situation in Europe between Christians, Muslims and Modernity. Does Christianity or Islam have a future in Europe?

The second lecture in our 2012 series was from our own Rev’d John Edwards, and is a fascinating review of the history of the Book of Common Prayer, in this the 350th anniversary of the 1662 prayer book that is still in use today.

Our Lent Lecture series for 2012 was launched by an excellent lecture from our new Bishop of Reading, Rt Rev’d Andrew Proud talking about his time in Africa, and what he learnt from his time there and what the Church in Berkshire can learn.

Just the sermon by Rt Rev'd Alan Wilson, Bishop of Buckingham from Rev'd John Edwards Service to Celebrate his Ministry.
