Whitby to host clergy conference
WHITBY will be the venue for a summer conference hosted by the Bishop of Whitby to which guests from all over the world are being invited.
It is due to take place between the 11 and 15 July and will look at how the Celtic tradition can help the Church in its work today.
The conference will consist of four major sessions featuring internationally known speakers as well as field trips, services and time for relaxation.
Delegates will be based in Whitby but will have the opportunity to visit other parts of North Yorkshire such as York and also Durham.
There is also the option for those taking part to enjoy a pilgrimage to Lindisfarne.
Speakers include Rob Mackley, Assistant Chaplain at Emmanuel College, Cambridge; Lucy Winkett, Rector of St James, Piccadilly; Mark McIntosh, Professor of theology at Durham University and Margaret Barker, a published biblical scholar.
Bookings for the conference open this week and the Right Rev Dr Martin Warner is hoping to invite local clergy.
