[Ely Events] Reflections on Religious Law in the UK at Michaelhouse

[Andreas Loewe]

This Lent, Michaelhouse in Cambridge's Trinity Street presents a set  
of lectures, given by experts from the three faiths Abrahamic  
Faiths.  Centring on the theme of religious law, a subject much  
debated in the light of Archbishop Rowan Williams' recent reflection  
on the role of religious law in the UK, the addresses will explore  
the religious law of each of the three faiths, and also examine the  
role of law in protecting human rights, and the juxtaposition of law  
and grace.

The addresses take place at Michaelhouse and are designed to appeal  
to a broad audience.  They will last for 20 minutes each, and allow  
ample time for questions.  There is no need to book places or to  
attend the entire course of lectures, although they are designed as a  
Lent course.
