Soren Kierkegaard

Sunday 2 June 2019

Soren Kierkegaard (1813-55) has variously been described as the gloomy Dane, the grandfather of existentialism and the Eeyore of philosophy! He is particularly associated with the phrase “the leap of faith”. What did he mean by it? What did he make of Abraham’s recorded willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac? What did Jean-Paul Sartre think of Kierkegaard? Come along with Fear and Trembling!

Silence for Beginners - with Richard Carter

Saturday 1 June 2019 — Sunday 2 June 2019

Silence is something we can long for or dread, but it’s often said that silence is the country where the saints learn their language. From the earliest years of Christianity to the present day, it’s where men and women have sought, and found, God. But as many who have tried it know, it is not always as simple as it sounds.
