God and Creation

for 2 hours
St Peter & St Paul
Church Lane Hambledon Waterlooville, PO7 4RT, United Kingdom

A talk and discussion led by the Very Reverend David Fergusson, Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge.

The theme of creation has often been understated in the seasons of the Christian year, the creeds, and the liturgy. This talk explores the reasons for this and proposes ways in which our churches can learn to value the created world for its own sake and not merely for its human benefits.

Professor Fergusson has had a long academic career, as well as serving as a parish minister early in his career. He was recently described as “the most distinguished theologian in Britain” and his talk is sure to be thought-provoking. In 2019 the Queen appointed him as Dean of the Chapel Royal in Scotland and Dean of the Order of the Thistle; both of which he still holds.

St Peter & St Paul

St Peter and St Paul has stood at the top of Hambledon's historic High Street since Saxon times.  

We are part of a Benefice which includes the churches at Soberton and Newtown, with whom we share our vicar, Rev Liz Quinn.  We are also part of the wider Meon Valley Parishes (MVP), which brings together eight churches.

We are a friendly and active church for all ages and all members of the community.  We warmly welcome you to come along and find out more.

We have Sunday morning and evening services, and a short service on Wednesday mornings.  

In 2026 we will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Victorian renovations with events throughout the year; we hope to see you there!

We still have some data on our old website (see Get in Touch)
