Tuesday 29th November - Advent Course (3/4)
This year’s Advent Course will be based on the book ‘Sleepers Wake: Getting Serious about climate Change’ by Nicholas Holtam.
Weaving together the spiritual and the scientific, the author uses paintings, music, poetry and personal recollections to illustrate his points about climate change. The course will run over 4 Tuesday evenings on 15, 22, 29 November and 6 December, online, by Zoom. The sessions will start at 7:30pm and finish at 9:00pm.
