Lecture – Arun Arora

Living Faithfully: Rediscovering Michael Ramsey’s Five Spiritual Helps (live lecture)

In a highly appropriate lecture for the New Year, the Rt Revd Dr Arun Arora, Bishop of Kirkstall, will lecture on Living Faithfully: Rediscovering Michael Ramsey’s Five Spiritual Helps.
Michael Ramsey (the 100th Archbishop of Canterbury, 1961-1974) offered his Five Helps as spiritual principles for living a faithful Christian life. Although Ramsay formulated these many decades ago, Bishop Arun will help us to understand how relevant they remain and how we can use them as foundations for a Christ-centered life.

Bishop Arun is known as a thought-provoking and entertaining speaker, and we are delighted that he is able to give this lecture.
