What is the purpose of the Annual lectures?
The Oliver Lyseight Annual Lectures commenced in 2008 in
commemoration of our founding Administrative Bishop, Rev Dr Oliver Lyseight. To date they have been delivered in a series of five lectures with the overarching motto of Augustine and Anselm of Canterbury: Fides quaerens intellectum or pilgrims of "faith seeking understanding" or "faith seeking intelligence'.
In 2018-2022 the series is focussing on the contribution women
continue to make to the life and witness of the Church under the
banner of ‘Womanhood in Christian Faith Communities.’
Who was Oliver Lyseight?
Rev Dr Oliver Lyseight was the founding leader of the NTCG in England.
