The challenge facing our churches – George Carey

Date Added: Monday 26th September 2005
Has the Christian Mission failed? The former Archbishop of Canterbury,  George Carey, will ask why the majority of Britons seem to have rejected Christianity as having nothing of relevance to them.

In a Millennium Lecture to be given in the diocese, at St Michael’s Church in Amersham, he will ask what Christianity can offer those who seek a spiritual path but do not expect to find it within the doors of a church.
Entitled ‘Has Christian Mission Failed – The Challenge Facing the Churches in God-Doubting Britain’, the lecture will take place on 11 October at 8pm.

Demand is expected to be high so buying tickets in advance is recommended.

Tickets are priced at £10 (£7 concessions), which includes a glass of wine or juice during the interval. All are welcome and tickets are available from St Michael’s on 01494 726680.

Revd. Diana Glover, of St Michael’s church, says: ‘George Carey joins our long list of consistently high calibre Millennium Lecture speakers.  I know he will be both thought-provoking and positive, and that what he has to say will be of interest to everyone, whether they attend church or not.'
