Michael Perham lecture 2025: Is reconciliation possible in our divided world?

This year’s Michael Perham University and Cathedral Lecture will be given by the Very Revd John Witcombe, Dean of Coventry.

During the last 12 years John has led Coventry Cathedral in its role as a thriving spiritual, social and artistic centre in the city. After its destruction in the second world war, the Cathedral created an international ministry in the area of reconciliation. John has built relationships with churches and communities in Germany and around the world, visiting many communities who are engaged in the work of reconciliation, often inducting them into the Community of the Cross of Nails. He will be sharing stories of reconciliation which speak to our divided world.

The lecture will take place in Gloucester Cathedral on Tuesday 13 May at 7pm.
