Join us for a thrilling discussion on faith in crime fiction with author Georgina Clarke! From the Golden Age to current day, crime fiction has drawn upon Christian stories and themes such as justice, redemption, innocence, and the prophetic voice; and of course some of these books even feature a clerical detective. Georgina Clarke the acclaimed author of the Lizzie Hardwicke mysteries set in 18th century London and The Dazzle of the Light – which was inspired by the Forty Thieves, a gang of notorious female thieves in East London – will be talking about her novels, faith in crime fiction and also what religious people – vicars, priests, monks and nuns – actually do and why they might make good sleuths. As well as an author, Clarke – as Georgina Byrne – has been a priest since 1998, and variously a vicar, bishop’s chaplain, director of ordinands, and cathedral canon here in Worcester and currently teaches Christian doctrine and contextual theology at The Queen’s Foundation, an ecumenical theological centre in Birmingham.

ESO Gala Concert Saturday 31 May 7.30pm Written between the two Wars, Ireland’s These Things Shall be is a powerful expression of humanistic and enlightenment values, a faith in the agency of individuals and a pacifist worldview. Ian Venables’ song cycle explores themes of love and sexuality through the poetry of the 19th and early 20th centuries. “Although the cycle’s underlying narrative portrays the love of man for man, I wanted to end the work with a celebration of the universality of love and especially the deep love that is found in a long-lasting relationship. This is a love that transcends sexual categories and is at the heart of a humane world where gay people no longer need to hide in ‘the shadows.’ Elgar’s Second Symphony is one of his most powerful and personal works, a musical portrait of a man and a civilisation standing at a turning point in history.
