SERMONS AND ADDRESSES
Theme for Easter Term: 'What is the point of being a Christian?'
This question is the title of a book by Timothy Radcliffe O.P. It was awarded the Michael Ramsey prize as the best theological book of 2009. This term's preachers have been asked to take the title of this book as their starting point for reflection in their sermons.
