Prayer is at the heart of KLC’s work. Under the leadership of Hugo Herfst, we will host an hour prayer meeting on the first Thursday of every month at 4pm UK time that is open to the whole KLC community.

KLC hosts a whole variety of events as we seek to embody our vision of fostering and nurturing Christian scholarship and public theology, rooted in spirituality and practiced in community. These events include our regular prayer meeting, webinars and public lectures, as well as in-person events such as our annual conference in Cambridge and our annual meal held alongside SBL.

“Passionate, perceptive and prophetic… a clarion call to all who hunger for better public conversation” – John Wyatt, Emeritus Professor of Ethics, University College, London
KLC fellow Dr Jenny Taylor is a lifelong journalist and a pioneer of religious literacy in journalism. We are excited to host the launch of her forthcoming book, Saving Journalism: The Rise, Demise and Survival of the News.
It hardly needs pointing out how serious the consequences of the erosion of responsible, independent journalism are proving to be for society. Jenny’s book examines important topics such as the disappearance of public-service journalism, the importance of freedom of the press, and what it will take to save the Fourth Estate. Our event will take place online and in-person at Chesterton Mill, Cambridge, and attendance is free of charge.
We look forward to Jenny’s presentation and some deep discussion with our guest panellists. Sign up below and join us on Thursday 29 May from 17:30 – 19:00 (BST).
