POPE FRANCIS’ PONTIFICATE

POPE FRANCIS’ PONTIFICATE  25 September - 7.00pm – St John’s Church, South Parade, Bath. Fr James Hanvey SJ makes a return visit for this third lecture in our series marking the first five years of Pope Francis’ pontificate. Fr James – Master of Campion Hall, Oxford - helps us consider Francis’ vision for the Church of the twenty first (if not the twenty second) century. He will invite us to consider what challenges Pope Francis now faces in leading the Church but also, Fr James allows us to reflect upon what challenges us as the Church in preaching the Gospel of Christ. How do we give credible, authentic witness today and how does the church Pope Francis shepherds continue to speak a good news through its word and example?
