Nigel Parker, Director of the Catholic Union, comments: “We are delighted that Baroness Hollins has agreed to give this year’s Craigmyle Lecture. Her practical insights into safeguarding based on her personal experience will be invaluable.”
Baroness Hollins is a crossbench life peer and is a former President of both the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the British Medical Association. In 2014 she was appointed by Pope Francis as a member of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors. She is also a Vice-President of the Catholic Union of Great Britain.

The Margaret Beaufort Institute of Theology in Cambridge is organising a talk on climate change on Wednesday October 5 from 5pm to 7.30pm.
The aim of this talk will be to offer a very general framework within which to consider climate change and global warming. Because it threatens life on the entire planet, the environmental crisis is one of the most serious ethical challenges – perhaps the most serious – that humanity, taken as a whole, has ever faced.
The speaker is Peter Coughlan, who has licentiates in philosophy, theology and canon law from the Gregorian University, Rome, and a doctorate in theology, University of London.
Tickets are £15 and you can register here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mbit-lecture-climate-change-and-global-warming
