Pusey House: Chapel
Free
Theologian and trained scientist Rev Professor Andrew Davison leads the festival evensong at Pusey House Chapel. The event is free and no booking is required.
Davison is the Starbridge Professor of Theology and Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, Dean of Chapel at Corpus Christi Cambridge and a canon of St Albans Cathedral. He writes on Christian doctrine, science and philosophy. He discusses his latest book, Astrobiology and Christian Doctrine: Exploring the Implications of Life in the Universe, at an event earlier in the day.
Pusey House in St Giles was opened in 1884 as a memorial to Edward Bouverie Pusey, Regius Professor of Hebrew and Canon of Christ Church, who was for 40 years a figurehead of the Oxford Movement, a movement of high church members of the Church of England. Its chapel, designed by Temple Moore and decorated by Ninian Comper, is known as a fine example of Gothic design.
