Bijan Omrani with Madeleine Thiele: God is an Englishman: Christianity and the Creation of England

Christianity in England is declining. But what does that really mean for a country whose history, culture and identity have been shaped by Christianity for more than 1,700 years?

Join Bijan Omrani for a fascinating and provocative exploration of what happens when a religion that once stood at the heart of English life begins to disappear. He’ll explore its influence on our laws and morality, government and kingship, architecture and literature – even our landscape, language and everyday customs.

But this isn’t simply a history lesson. Bijan argues that we should not lightly abandon a tradition that has shaped England so profoundly and, at its best, offered powerful answers to the enduring questions of human life. He will make the case for retaining Christianity as part of our national heritage, and as a resource for confronting some of the challenges of modern life.

Come and hear his argument – and decide what you think.
