THE
RE-ENCHANTMENT
OF
MORALITY

Wisdom for a Troubled World

A series of talks by Richard Harries (Lord Harries of Pentregarth), former Bishop of Oxford

9^th January	Morality and Religion in a Secular Age 9^th This talk (introduced by Bishop John Baker) is available here to play or download. † The recording omits the first few seconds of Bishop Baker’s introduction. Also, Lord Harries’ opening words, referring to Bishop Baker, are muted for about seven seconds.
16^th January	The Shape of Christian Ethics 16^th This talk (introduced by Miggy Scott) is available here to play or download. † There is a brief error in the recording: it begins at very low volume and is brought up to normal volume after about five seconds.
23^rd January	Managing Power and Violence 23^rd This talk is available here to play or download. † Most of the introduction, by David Scott, was not recorded. His thanks to Lord Harries at the end, followed by notices, have been cut to save space.
30^th January	Christianity and Public Policy 30^th This talk (introduced by Revd Dr Howard Mellor) and the question-and-answer session following the talk are available here to play or download. † There is a break in the question-and-answer recording, after about 15 minutes, when the tape was changed.

Wednesdays 12:30 – 13:00 : Admission free : Sandwiches available
Donations welcome

Gracious God,
You give us freedom to choose what is right and reject what is wrong;
grant us to recognise and rejoice in goodness wherever it is to be found.
Give wisdom to those whose decisions in the public sphere, in politics and business, shape all our lives.
Give us discernment in the choices we make this day, that all we do may reflect your Divine Wisdom in Jesus,
in whom, in the power of the Spirit, we come before you.
Amen
