A Sion College Seminar Supper with the Revd Canon James Walters

Building Christian Community in an age of Disintegration

Thursday 12th March, 2026 – 7 for 7:30pm (please do not arrive before 7pm)

Byward Kitchen & Bar, Byward St, London EC3R 5BJ

The Church of England is often its own fiercest critic. Recent years have been dominated by a difficult reckoning with past failings, internal disagreement and continued numerical decline. But this is a moment of profound opportunity for parishes and chaplaincies to serve their communities and grow in faith. Based on case studies across the Church of England, James Walters offers reflections from his forthcoming Bloomsbury Lent Book 2027 to renew confidence in the practice of ordinary Christian community.

Canon James Walters is director of the LSE Faith Centre and a professor in practice at the London School of Economics.
