Something Greater than Power: The Legacy of Bishop George Bell to Later Generations

The Third George Bell Lecture honours the remarkable life and witness of the war-time Bishop of Chichester. Dedicated to Bells profound engagement with public affairs, immigration, and the ecumenical movement, the lecture series invites reflection on his fearless commitment to truth, justice, and care for the vulnerable - from refugees and the Jewish community to the confessing church in Nazi Germany.

 This years lecture will be delivered by Andrew Chandler, Bells most recent biographer. 
Drawing on decades of research, Professor Chandler will ask: what became of the moral, cultural and intellectual legacies of Bells long public ministry after his death? And how might they be re-imagined and revived in a very different church and age today?

Free admission. Donations welcome. Booking essential.
