The Women’s Ministries Initiative
is organising a Study Day Series on Anthropology and Theology. Its next event
is entitled ‘The Person and the Individual: Solitude and Loneliness’. The event
will take place on the 17th October 2015 in Oxford, Lady Margaret
Hall. There you will be able to enjoy a real coffee with Sister Vassa in
Oxford!
