Michaelmas Term marks a fresh start for all of us, an opportunity to gaze upon new horizons. We may begin the academic year bursting with confidence; we may, on the other hand, come with heads full of questions, and with hearts searching for their home. Each week, our Sunday guest speakers will engage with a key challenge (whether intellectual or experiential) that we are likely to face on the path ahead, and explore how the resources of the Christian tradition can give real, lasting and satisfying responses for both our heads and our hearts.

Our services at Clare are open to everyone, whatever your beliefs or background, whether you are familiar with Christian liturgy or setting foot in a church building for the first time.
