Join us for this, the second public discussion inspired by the Rutger Bregman Reith Lectures 2025 calling for a moral revolution.

The panellists are:

The Revd. Professor David Wilkinson,

Theologian, astrophysicist, broadcaster, academic

Dr. Samuel Tranter,

Postdoc Fellow in Christian Ethics and Public Life.

Mr Nick Weaver

Rtd asst head teacher and head of pupil wellbeing, Durham Johnston school

Each panellist will speak for 15 minutes, followed by Q&A. At 8.30pm, the audience will be invited to go into the adjacent church hall, so that discussiom can continue in small groups, the panellists approachable in an informal setting.

Our hope is that there will be a wide-ranging discussion, that will include concerns about the loss of social skills such as engaging in face-to-face encounters, interest in other sources of information apart from the internet and in the wider social context, community well-being and neighbourliness. Without doubt, the issue of AI will come up.

It will be a safe place for people to express their hopes and concerns and share ideas.
