For almost 200 years St John’s Episcopal Church, Princes Street, Edinburgh has stood at a crossroads: a community of faith in the heart of the city. The Festival Pulpit draws from this experience and aims to give a platform for voices that form, challenge, and engage both the secular and the religious. This year it will explore the intersection of public life and religion in the UK. Speakers will be:

14 August Elizabeth Butler-Sloss
(The Rt Hon. the Baroness Butler-Sloss GBE, PC; Chair, Commission on Religion and Belief in British Public Life; Member of the House of Lords)
