The Rt Revd Peter Selby - What are Bishops For?

Thursday 17th July 2025, 7:00 for 7:30pm (please do not arrive before 7pm)

The Royal Overseas League, Park Place, St James's Street, SW1A 1LR

Our speaker, Peter Selby, has served as an Area Bishop, as a Diocesan Bishop, and as an Assistant Bishop in four different dioceses. As a ‘serving’ bishop he was also Bishop to HM Prisons, a Church Commissioner and a member of the House of Bishops Theological Group and of the Doctrine Commission. He is not a stranger to controversy. His talk will include words like ‘projection’, ‘authority’, ‘power’, ‘collegiality’, to mention but a few in what is meant to be a stimulus to debate during this seminar supper and to further conversation afterwards.

Sion College events are often over-subscribed and each place is generously subsidised. If you are offered a place but are unable to attend for any reason, please let the office know so that your place may be offered to another. In the event of failure to attend without notice after being reserved a place, the Court will require a refund of the subsidy. Application for a place at any Sion event constitutes acceptance of this proviso.
