Wednesday 29 April, 5.45pm
Taking its title from this term's theme (see below), our first service of Trinity term will be led by the College's Chaplain, the Rev Claire MacDonald.
This term’s theme, "the growing edge" takes a term coined by the theologian Howard Thurman for the persistent creative force at work in the natural and human social worlds, even in the hardest of times. It relates directly to growing and the natural world as well, as metaphor and practical everyday experience.
This Trinity term we explore themes around the times in which we live, the natural world we inhabit and our own hopes, dreams and purposes with Rev Claire MacDonald, in her final term as Chaplain, and four visitors to the college chapel – Unitarians the Rev Colin Bossen and the Rev Tina Gandhi, who will each lead a service, Buddhist Unitarian Grace Graham, who will co-lead with the Rev Claire MacDonald’s our Chaplain’s last service. Harris Manchester research fellow Bev Clack will be our first visitor in early May. Music this term includes hymns, songs and psalms sung by our choir and written and arranged by composers including Bob Chilcott, Alec Roth, Graham Howell and Eleanor Daley with new music by Lucy Walker and Harris Manchester’s Sanders Director of Music, Stephen Taylor.
Our services are open to all.
