The School for Synodality was invited to give the Crichton Memorial Annual Lecture, held this year on the 7th October 2023 and organised by the Society of St Gregory.
Co-director Avril Baigent delivered a keynote address entitled ‘Enlarging the space of our tents: What new learning is possible from the dialogue between synodality and liturgy?”
Monsignor James Crichton has been described as “Britain’s foremost Roman Catholic liturgist”, and a lecture is held in his name by The Society of St Gregory every year.
The Society of St Gregory was founded by Dom Bernard McElligott, a monk of the Benedictine monastic at Ampleforth Abbey in 1929. Today the Society is the national society for liturgy and music in the Roman Catholic Church in the British Isles.
