St Martin-in-the-Fields’ Autumn Lecture Series 2024 brings together a group of inspirational speakers to share their own sources of inspiration. What are the influences that form our identity, our faith, our beliefs, our creativity and the values by which we live? What are the things in our own lives that mark us, change us, challenge us and make us who we are? Leading figures from the world of politics, art, culture, history, media and faith talk about the formative influences of their lives and challenge us to reflect upon our own sources of inspiration and the values for which we live or long.
“These lectures and talks offer us a privileged insight into the hearts and souls of people who shape our public consciousness today, and offer us opportunities to ponder and feel gratitude for our own sources of inspiration.” Revd Dr Sam Wells, Vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields.
Sam Wells is Vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields, where he leads a unique configuration of commercial, cultural and charitable initiatives, rooted in a vibrant congregational life. He is also a widely known preacher, broadcaster and author. In 2022 he completed his trilogy Walk Humbly, Love Mercy and Act Justly and published Humbler Faith, Bigger God: Finding a Faith to Live By, which takes the most profound criticisms of Christianity and the church as the pretexts for finding a truer, more honest trust in God.
