We had the privilege of welcoming Karen Armstrong to the Cathedral earlier this year as part of our ‘God and the Good’ lecture series, in collaboration with the University of Sheffield.
Karen Armstrong is one of the world’s leading commentators on religious affairs. She spent seven years as a Roman Catholic nun, but left her teaching order in 1969 to read English at St Anne’s College, Oxford. In 1982, she became a full-time writer and broadcaster.
You can watch her talk below, which addresses the gravity of climate change and the need to change our attitude to nature. You can also watch Karen Armstrong in conversation with Henk de Berg from the University of Sheffield.
