Easter for Atheists

11:00 am, April 3 2013

The Nave at St Paul’s Steiner School

Speaker: Sarah Dunant (11am), Dave Tomlinson (1:30pm)

What? An Easter service in an atheist church, that doesn’t seem right? Don’t worry, we’re as rational as they come but let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

There have been spring festivals since time began, and wouldn’t it be a shame to lose 1400 years of British history over a minor theological difference? Yes. It would. Also, we love chocolate eggs!

11 am service. Speaker: Sarah Dunant

Sarah Dunant is a wonderful historian with expertise on the Borgias, the lives of 14th century nuns and Renaissance women.

1.30 pm service. Speaker: Dave Tomlinson

This wonderful vicar will talk about the power of stories, myths and metaphors as ways of seeing the world, and why humans have enjoyed the Easter tale.
