Keynote Speaker FR TIMOTHY RADCLIFFE OP
Fr Timothy is a former Master of the Dominican Order. Educated at Oxford and in Paris, he joined the Dominicans in 1965 and taught scripture at Blackfriars, Oxford for many years. His latest book, Alive in God – A Christian Imagination, asserts that “we are most likely to excite people with our faith if Christianity is grasped as the invitation to live fully”.
