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.

Jo Chamberlain is the National Environment Officer for the Church of England, a role she has been in for the last 6 years. Prior to that, she worked for Christian Aid, an organisation working with those at the forefront of the impacts of climate breakdown. The world around us is in trouble, and people are not taking care of God’s good creation. Christians are called to love God and to love our neighbour. This talk aims to explore what that means when we look and see a world confronted by rising global temperatures, accelerating loss of nature and an expanding problem of plastic waste.

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.
