The site on which Blackburn Cathedral is built has been a place of Christian worship for over 1,500 years, and our faith continues to be at the very heart of all we do.
Just to keep the Cathedral running requires nearly a million pounds every year. And an enormous building like this costs a great deal more in maintenance and repair work.
Lent Talks at Blackburn Cathedral – The Temple Lectures
This year's William Temple Lectures at Blackburn Cathedral have the overarching title of 'Transforming Communities' - reflecting the theme of Vision 2026.
Bishop Philip North, Bishop of Burnley, says: "An impressive and diverse line-up of speakers will be delivering the Temple Lectures at the Cathedral this year during Lent, focussing on 'Transforming Communities'. This is to be a really engaging series which will face up to the hard realities of making a difference in our communities in the name of Christ. There will be plenty to challenge and to encourage."
