We are delighted to welcome The Revd Dr Gavin Wakefield as our guest lecturer on Tuesday 21 October.

His talk, “What did the saints do for us? Living in a storied landscape?” – will explore mission, memory, and meaning in the North East.

The lecture takes place on Tuesday 21 October at Ushaw Historic House. Doors open from 7.00pm and the talk will start at 7.30pm, followed by a Q&A.

Now retired from full-time ministry, Gavin continues to support church life, mentor students, and serve as chaplain at Durham Cathedral. His academic interests include evangelism, Pentecostal origins in the UK, and the story of mission in the region. Passionate about connecting history with today’s concerns, Gavin brings insight and depth to this special evening
