Benedict Lecture with Abbot Christopher Jamison

In this inaugural Benedict lecture, Abbot Christopher Jamison explores how we might frame the future.

Framing the Future

The future has a history, but does it have a future? In this provocative talk, Abbot Christopher will look at how people have framed their future in the past and how we frame it now. Pessimism is the frame of the future for many people in Britain today. Why? What frame does Christian faith generate?
