St Stephen Walbrook: Autumn Newsletter

St Stephen Walbrook has just published its Autumn Newsletter. We have a very varied and exciting programme for the Autumn including a new initiative - plus+ presentations – which will explore the place of faith in the world of business, as a way of further developing the relationships St Stephen Walbrook has with the business community in the City of London.

The inaugural presentation in our new series of plus+ presentations will be given by Douglas Board, founder of Maslow’s Attic, on 21 September at 6.30pm. Douglas will share practical, intellectual and spiritual reflections on flourishing at work in a presentation entitled ‘In an open plan office, can anyone hear you scream?’

His presentation will follow a new monthly Evening Prayer service at 6.15pm and will then be followed by a drinks reception and networking. Please do come along to support this new initiative and tell friends and colleagues, particularly any who work in the City.

Our newsletter also provides information about:

• Open House London & The House of Sound
• Special Services: Autumn 2017 - Business Harvest Festival & Thanksgiving Service for The Lord Mayor
• Conference: Art awakening humanity
• Discover & explore: Rome, London & Christianity
• Art exhibitions  - Vision & Creations

This Autumn we also welcome to the area our new neighbours at Bloomberg London. Their site includes Bloomberg Arcade comprising 10 independent restaurants offering a variety of cuisines and dining styles, seven days a week, and also the London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE. This anticipated cultural hub will restore the ancient Temple of Mithras to the site of its discovery, showcase a selection of the remarkable Roman artefacts discovered during excavation, and display a series of contemporary art commissions responding to the site’s history.

Our new series of Discover & explore services will focus on ‘Rome, London & Christianity’, as part of the City of London's 'Londinium' programme. Other history themed musical happenings at St Stephen include: The House of Sound (11-17 September), which recreates the sounds of the past activities of Walbrook and Watling Street, and Preludes & Vollenteries 1 (14 September, 6pm) exploring the dialogue between the great architecture of Wren, Hawksmoor and Hooke, and the work of the violin makers and composers whose instruments and music flooded in the London in the years after the Restoration.

We very much hope you will find things of interest and spiritual refreshment in our Autumn programme and look forward to seeing you whenever you are able to join us over this period. Please do pass on our newsletter and share information about services and events, so that others can also connect with these varied and exciting services and events.
