Inaugural Thomas More Lecture
08/12/2011 12:10 pm
Archbishop Vincent Nichols, President of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales gave the Inaugural Thomas More Lecture, 7 December, and took his inspiration from Pope Benedict XVI's 2010 speech at Westminster Hall. Archbishop Nichols echoed the Holy Father's words for the title of the lecture: "Faith in God is not a problem to be solved, but a vital part of the national conversation".
Archbishop Nichols examines...
- The place of religious belief in the public square
- The engagement between the secular world and the world of faith
- The search for community
- Equality and mutual identity
- Human ecology and spirituality
