When: 6.30pm Tuesday 22nd November 2022

Where: St Martin-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square, London WC2N 4JJ

Christian Aid's re-scheduled annual lecture this year will be given by Rt Hon David Lammy MP, the Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs.

The lecture - A Force for Good: Co-operating Across Borders in an Age of Authoritarians - will be followed by a conversation with Christian Aid's chair and former Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu.

In his lecture, the Rt Hon David Lammy MP will argue that the UK has a moral duty to return to multilateral engagement to tackle the three greatest challenges the world is facing: climate, conflict and famine.

Patrick Watt, Christian Aid’s Chief Executive, said: “We’re delighted that David Lammy is delivering this year’s lecture. It will be an excellent opportunity for our supporters and friends to hear from one of the UK’s most influential politicians.”

Christian Aid’s Annual Lecture is in its second year. Last year, Partha Dasgupta, one of the UK’s most eminent economists, lectured on the value of the biosphere and how important it is for local voices to put forward their own answers to ecological crises.
