The Inaugural David Peters Lecture | Francis of Assisi with visiting speaker Rhys Bezzant
Francis of Assisi is well known, and hardly known at all. He’s famous for his humility, compassion, prayer, simplicity and love of creation. In this talk, visiting lecturer Rhys Bezzant will present a holistic portrait of his life and explore the poor man of Assisi’s vision for the church and the world. His was an age like ours when society was changing rapidly and the authority of the church was seen as compromised. His life is full of surprises and challenges for us.
A light supper will be available before the lecture which will be followed by cheese and wine. Please book your free ticket here.
Rhys Bezzant is lecturer in church history at Ridley Melbourne. He has recently been translating a landmark work on the life of St Francis of Assisi.
