Chapel Sermons

Top of the Chapel

There are visiting preachers at Evensong nearly every week in Full Term, as well as at other major events in the College's year, such as the Commemoration of Benefactors. These sermons offer varied and often striking perspectives on Christian faith and life in the contemporary world. Some of them are reproduced here, and will be changed or added to from time to time.
