La Peste – Reflections on God, Faith and the Church in the Global Pandemic
Join us for the fourth in a series of Evensong reflections, exploring life, faith and God in the aftermath of Covid 19, with music from the Choir of St Giles-in-the-Fields.
The visiting speaker on Sunday August 1st is the Revd Rachel Mann, an Anglican priest, poet, writer and broadcaster based in Manchester. Her debut novel, The Gospel of Eve, was described as “an intoxicating mix of The Secret History and the Name of the Rose”. Her work as a theologian has been primarily focussed on the feminist/queer liturgical theology and practice. She is rector of the parish of St Nicholas, Burnage.
Registration is free. Doors open at 6.10pm. Please wear a mask inside church.
About this series
‘La Peste – Reflections on God, Faith and the Church in the Global Pandemic’ is held on the first Sunday of the month from May-September at 6.30pm, at St Giles-in-the-Fields.
The series, the first of several events planned for 2021, heralds the arrival of new rector, Revd Tom Sander.
Speakers include The Bishop of London, Canon Giles Fraser, The Revd Dr Rachel Mann, The Revd Dr Paula Gooder and The Revd Fergus Butler-Gaillie.
With a history embedded in London’s past plagues, the West End church is well placed to consider the spiritual impact of pandemics. The first church on this site was attached to a leper hospital and hundreds of plague victims were buried here over the centuries.
Also known as 'the poet's church', St Giles is in the heart of the West End next to Tottenham Court Road station and many bus routes.
