For Sunday services in Easter Term, our sermon theme is 'A Clare Resurrection', with visiting speakers reflecting on themes of resurrection, drawing especially on the accounts of the resurrection of Christ from the New Testament. Our preachers this term bring with them a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences, but they are united in having been formed by time at Clare College.
