Re:Imagine Global Peace

Occurring
for 1 hour, 30 mins
Venue
Bradford Cathedral
Address
Stott Hill Bradford, BD1 4EH, United Kingdom

Join a leading figure in international diplomacy in conversation over food as we explore diplomacy in a fragmented world. How can we reimagine global peace amidst rising polarisation? Together, we’ll uncover bold and creative ways to build trust and connection – locally and globally – for a more peaceful, shared future.

Rather than a lecture, panel, or formal Q&A, this gathering is about risk, surprise, and encounter. It will bring together expertise, uncertainty, and personal stories to allow new insights to emerge between the guests.

Our guest for this event, David Porter, Visiting Professor of Faith and Peaceful Relations at Coventry University, will be in conversation with Revd Canon Ned Lunn, Canon for Intercultural Mission and the Arts at Bradford Cathedral. Together, they will guide an evening of dialogue over food, inviting participants into a shared exploration of what it means to seek peace, locally and globally, in a fragmented age.

The pertinence of this conversation could not be sharper. At a time when conflicts around the globe, from Ukraine to the Middle East, from Sudan to ongoing tensions closer to home continue to cause suffering and deepen divisions, the lessons of Northern Ireland stand as both a beacon of hope and a sober reminder of the fragility of peace.

The Re:Imagine series, launched earlier this year, seeks to create space for courageous, creative, and collaborative conversations that tackle some of the most pressing issues of our time. Each event aims not just to discuss problems but to spark fresh imagination about possible futures.

This event has been rescheduled from the 26th September.
