Chancellor's Autumn Lectures 2026

Organised by : Chichester Cathedral

The Theology of the Icon-Symbols & Images in Christian Art

As part of the Chancellor's annual Autumn Lectures, this year's series explores the rich interplay between art and faith. 

Building on Chichester Cathedral's long tradition of engaging with sacred art, these lectures will reflect on how artists across the centuries - from the creators of early icons to modern figures such as celebrated artist and printmaker John Piper - have sought to express the divine through colour, form, and imagination.

Together, the lectures invite us to consider how sacred images speak into our lives today: how they illuminate scripture, shape worship, deepen our sense of place, and prompt us to see the world anew.

Spaces on the Chancellor's Autumn Lectures cost £10.00 per person (including a glass of wine and soft drink).
