Hugh Price Hughes Lectures 2008
“Body Language”
From the beginning Christians have used the concept of the body to express their participation in the work of Christ, their life together under God, the worship they offer to God. These lectures explore implications of the body in faith and invite you to make connections.
All lectures are on a Tuesday evening at 7.30pm and are free.

This is the tenth series of Hugh Price Hughes Lectures. The Revd Hugh Price Hughes founded the West London Mission in 1887. He was one of the most forward-looking thinkers of the day. We believe these annual lectures are making a significant contribution towards exploring our faith in the 21st Century.
