Christmas Conversations

Christmas conversations: sermons & messages from the Bishops

Join speaker Angela Platt in the upcoming talk exploring the festive sermons & messages from the Bishops of London.
Step back in time with us as we explore the rich history of Christmas sermons and messages delivered at Fulham Palace between the 1950s and 1980s. This insightful talk will delve into how clergy conveyed the meaning of Christmas, shedding light on the beliefs, values, and celebrations of mid-twentieth century Anglican and London communities. What messages did people hear during the holiday season? How were they shaped by the era’s societal context? Join us to uncover the evolving perceptions of Christmas across these decades.
