The Autumn lecture series at St Martin-in-the-Fields invites those on the edge to speak to our heart and those at the heart to show their edge. You can buy tickets to attend in person but also online.
A reminder that Rowan Williams is speaking at the Cymar meeting in Caerdydd ~ Cardiff in September.
As we mark 300 years in our iconic building, we have put together a fantastic line-up of speakers for this year's Autumn Lecture Series, which celebrates and explores what it means to stand at the heart and on the edge.
