Lectures

As an authority on Christian art and a former diocesan Bishop, Christopher Herbert has developed a range of talks and lectures which have been enthusiastically received by local, national and international audiences.

The lectures are typically of sixty minutes in length, and all are copiously illustrated with PowerPoint screens, featuring up to eighty images.

The range of lectures makes them suitable for a wide variety of events and settings. They can be presented as a stand-alone event, as part of a fund-raising or teaching event, or as a comprehensive series during a season such as Advent or Lent. The lectures have been very succesfully delivered to individual churches, deanery groups, Diocesan Synods,study days, art and theological society events and at major national and international conferences.

The host venue is normally asked to provide a digital projector and screen. A technical guide and event briefing document can be supplied once a lecture is booked.

The following list provides a brief description of the lectures offered. For fuller details, please download a colour brochure in PDF format here.
