“The Common Good” is now a well-used – some might say well-worn – phrase. It is not, however, always clear how it is used or what it means. In the first of two lectures, Nick Spencer excavates the idea, explores how it is used today and then examines how it fits into the tradition of Anglican Social Thought and whether that tradition has anything particular to say to the idea today.

The Common Good is not simply a nice idea – it demands a response. But what might that look like and, in particular, what might an Anglican contribution to the Common Good look like? Building on the Lecture 1 looking at an Anglican understanding of the Common Good, and on Theos’ research programme over the last ten years, Nick Spencer explores what an Anglican contribution to the Common Good might look like.

Jeff represents the Diocese at regional and national level in any aspect of education. Being able to share the gospel can come in many forms and in this lecture Jeff explores ways of doing so through prayer, and practical caring for parents, governors, staff, students and pupils of schools, sharing truth and offering paths forward to those on your frontline.

Gareth Wallace is the Executive Director of the Conservative Christian Fellowship. The CCF builds relationships between the Christian world and the world of politics. It is a non-denominational Christian fellowship that inspires and equips believers to go into public life, seeking to be ‘Salt & Light’ in the Conservative Party. In this lecture, Gareth explores, through a political lens, how we can seek to improve the culture of our workplace to make it more kingdom-like. How can we ensure that even though some decisions made in the workplace may not be of benefit for all, our workplaces can adopt other patterns of behaviour and initiatives that seek to show a commitment to loving people created in God’s image.
