Lent Lectures: Issues of Faith

Wednesdays 2.30pm in the Cathedral quire and available as a recording afterwards

A weekly series of talks hosted by the Dean and Canons with a series of speakers helping us to reflect on issues of the day through the eyes of faith. Each talk will be followed by the opportunity for questions.

Growing older may bring us many challenges, not least increasing awareness of our own mortality. In a world that promotes independence and autonomy and where differing approaches to dying and death exist, how do we learn to value the invitations that ageing and dying bring us to let go, to be, to wait, to deepen our engagement with God.

Katherine Froggatt is Anna Chaplaincy Lead for Blackburn Diocese, and provides training around spirituality and ageing for the diocese and the national Anna Chaplaincy network. She formerly worked as Professor of Ageing and Palliative Care at Lancaster University.

Ripon Cathedral

Ripon Cathedral is a beautiful, ancient church with a history reaching back to the 7th Century. It is a mother church for the Diocese of Leeds and home for the cathedra (throne) of the Bishop of Leeds. We enjoy welcoming both pilgrims and tourists, hoping that they will capturea glimpse of God’s love for them through the witness of this remarkable building and its people. We look forward to welcoming you.
