Stancester’s international community is well represented here. We meet at 7.30pm on Wednesdays in the Chaplaincy Centre – why not come along to Evensong in the University Chapel (5.30pm) and/or the bring-and-share meal (6.45pm) first? We have strong links with Campus Quakers and Cathsoc.Ĭatholic Society – We’re a relaxed group of (mostly!) Catholic students who meet to share friendship, faith and fun. Any errors or infelicities that remain are attributable to my own stubbornness.Īnglican, Methodist and United Reformed Church Society – AngthMURC is a small, friendly Christian society which welcomes everyone who is interested in exploring both the joyful and the challenging aspects of faith. Hall, Nicola Janke, Mthr Jo Kershaw, Kate Lambert, Susan Lanigan and Ankaret Wells for their excellent and constructive advice.
In particular I should like to thank Alex Brett, Tony Evershed, A.J. I am extremely grateful for the encouragement and enthusiasm of many offline and online friends, including the groups popularly known as Pico, Swoop and the Readlist. Speak Its Name explores what happens when faith, love and politics mix and explode. Then a disgruntled member of the Catholic Society starts asking whether the Christian Fellowship is really as Christian as it claims to be, and Lydia finds herself at the centre of a row that will reach far beyond the campus. As the year unfolds, Lydia discovers that there are more ways to be Christian – and more ways to be herself – than she had ever imagined. When she encounters the eccentric, ecumenical student household at 27 Alma Road, Lydia is forced to expand her assumptions about who’s a Christian to include radical Quaker activist Becky, bells-and-smells bus-spotter Peter, and out (bisexual) and proud (Methodist) Colette. And to ensure a certain secret stays very secret indeed. Her mission: to make sure all the Christians in her hall stay on the straight and narrow, and to convert the remaining residents if possible. A new year at the University of Stancester, and Lydia Hawkins is trying to balance the demands of her studies with her responsibilities as an officer for the Christian Fellowship.
