Off To See The Bishop


There is no meeting in the pub this week. Instead join Cat and others in a trip to Leeds to see Bishop Tom Wright (seen here doing his impression of Tommy Cooper).
Cat says:

Tom Wright, Bishop of Durham, is speaking at the WYSOCS (W Yorks School of Christian Studies) summer lectures in on 11-12 June. For those who haven't heard him/heard of him, he is a fantastic speaker and thinker - quite surprising for a Bishop - who is very highly respected and well worth hearing.
His talks are on Wisdom, Glory and Virtue, and are headlined Human Flourishing in Tomorrow's World, details as follows:
Wisdom: Fri 11 June, 7.30 for 8 pm
Glory: Sat 12 June, 9.30 for 9.45 am
Virtue: Sat 12 June, 11.15 for 11.30

Although they are presented as a threesome, you could easily take any of the three as individual sessions. Cost is £7 (per talk) if you've got a paid job, £4 if you would describe yourself as a concession (not working, retired, student etc). (If you wanted to go to all three talks the cost is £18 or £10 respectively.)
The talks are going to be in Leeds at St George's Church on Great George Street, which is easy walking distance from the station.
