Conway Hall, Holborn
Speaker: Rufus Hound
‘Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us!
We all know that Sunday Assembly London is there to help everyone celebrate life, but this gathering isn’t just a celebration, it’s a party! Bring your party hats and put on your party clothes. Get ready for an all star line up, including Rufus Hound as our speaker, who thought he might be a vicar some years ago, but then became a comedian, actor and all round TV & radio superstar!’
Tying in with our theme of Light in the Darkness, Rufus spoke about the role of hope in our lives, how faith can provide it and how those without faith can still can embrace it.
Rufus told us that his first idea was ‘to cover myself in sparklers and run down The Tube but the so called “Health and Safety” brigade said it was “stupid” to the “point of borderline psychotic”.’
We sang some of our favourite power ballads from over the last five years, looked back on how far we (each and every one of us) have come in the last five years and looked into the future (like Mystic Meg but without the crystal ball) and to all the wonder we can bring to the world.
