A quick reminder that our final talk is Wednesday 25th March – our final Lent Conversation for 2026!
Professor Neil Messer bring together our talks on Medical Ethics and Faith in our final session: Science in Theology – What kind of Conversation?

The talk will be held at the Redland Friends Meeting House on Hampton Road, BS6 6JE

This series of talks has generated much interest, particularly around approaches to death, palliative care and assisted dying. There might be scope for a meeting circle/book group around these themes. If you are interested, please let us know.

We are pleased and excited announce the programme for Lent 2026. This starts on 4th March. It's a set of subjects around ethics and medicine/ health. Possibly a serious subject for some, but one we feel that we need to consider carefully. We have some great speakers too. All are welcome, people of faith and none.
All talks are free entry but donations are accepted for the expenses.
