About this event
***Rearranged from March***
In 2018, Nick Fisher was the first recipient of a Lambeth doctorate after the scheme had been rebranded ‘Lambeth Research Degrees in Theology’. His thesis explored the life and writings of Symon Patrick in a career that included being Rector of St Paul’s, Covent Garden, a King’s Chaplain and Bishop of Ely.
This illustrated talk will explore the religious tensions of Charles II’s reign and suggest that Patrick's contribution to the national Church has been unjustly neglected.
