Open to Question 2006
Back by popular demand, another series of 6 autumn seminars on aspects of Christianity and the Bible.
World leading experts from New College, the School of Divinity at the University of Edinburgh, share their knowledge and enthusiasm for their specialist subjects, tailored to a lay audience.
You don't have to be a theologian to come along. Or a member of the church. The lectures are aimed at those who know a little and would like to know more.
Open to Question runs on Tuesday evenings from 10th October - 14th November. It starts at 7.30pm and finishes about 9pm.
