11 November: Inaugural Operation Noah lecture by Fr Christopher Jamison OSB

Fr Chris Jamison OSB of BBC2's "Monastery" series will give the inaugural "Operation Noah" lecture at St Alban the Martyr, London EC1 on Nov 11th at 7pm. This will presage a 'Reclaim Christmas' campaign in which various Cathedrals and Churches (including Exeter, Birmingham and Bradford) will be invited to "reclaim" Christmas by "Putting the Waiting Back into Wanting". The campaign will include an anti-consumption drive, an opportunity to make your own presents and group action to bring the message of living simply into the shopping malls. There will a day of repentance at the beginning of Advent followed by a day of creation.

The lecture, titled "Changing the Climate: Spiritual Steps for Sustainable Living" is also taking place in conjunction with the October release of Fr Jamison's new book, Finding Happiness: Monastic Steps for a Fulfilling Life published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson.

NOTE: It is not too late to reserve a seat for the lecture. If you would like to attend, please phone 020 7324 4769 to add your name to the list.
