What is the relationship between faith and society today?
The Cambridge Consultations recently launched the first event in a six-term series of public debates, lectures and workshops tackling issues of contemporary concern and exploring what faith has to contribute to some of the most pressing challenges of our day.
We began with a very successful three-day visit by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York. This historic occasion marked the first time that the two leading figures in the Anglican communion have teamed up to address in a public setting some of the fundamental questions of faith and society. The main public events, held at Great St Mary's The University Church, Cambridge attracted over 1000 people on each evening.
The subject for this term's Consultation is 'Human Rights in a Dangerous World' exploring both domestic and international issues with visiting speakers including former Guantanamo prisoner Moazzam Begg, Joel Edwards, Nicholas Sagovsky (a member of the Independent Asylum Commission), and David Aaronovitch. A number of events are planned for May 7th-9th - please see our events page for further details.
