From Peru to Mars:
New Worlds and Jesuit Science
Lecture by Br Guy Consolmagno SJ: Director of the Specola Vaticana and often referred to as the Pope’s
Astronomer.
He is world-renowned in his field, a prolific publisher and very much in
demand as a public speaker, so it is a particular pleasure to have him
give the Annual Chaplaincy Lecture 2023.
His theme, from Peru to Mars, is a whistle-stop tour of science through
the ages and sure to be of interest to all who have a curiosity about
science and faith.
The lecture is free and open to the public and will be interpreted into
British Sign Language (BSL).

led by Ali Johnson, Digital Evangelist at Cliff College.
This is a FREE training day led by Ali Johnson, Digital Evangelist at Cliff College, for those who are interested in developing their knowledge and skills in using social media, websites and lots other platforms for mission!
This training day is not for those beginning to use digital in their church/missional context, but it is for those who are already using social media — those who would like to ‘work smarter’ and advance their skills and knowledge.
Some basic knowledge is needed but it should be accessible for all ministers, administrators and lay workers, as well as volunteers with some digital awareness. As well as develop knowledge of different platforms, it will also help develop awareness of trends, target groups, different contexts and creative ideas for engaging digitally.
