  3. Why? Intercessory Prayers | Tuesday 8th April | 7.30pm | GH

    prayerFor the next in our Why? programme we are exploring Intercessory Prayers, that section in our services called 'Intercessions' and what it means. This session is for anyone and is intended to explore why we have intercessory prayers, and what their purpose is in the context of our worship. It is not intended as training on how to write intercessions, but instead will focus on the history and help us to develop a deeper understanding of what they’re for, what they mean, and how we receive them. This will take place at St Mary Magdalene, Great Hampden.

    One of the most devastatingly powerful operas in the repertoire, a compelling portrait of faith, fate and human endurance. Thematically it is both a widescreen historical and political tragedy, and an intimate psychological exploration of faith. Set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror, the opera retells the true story of the Martyrs of Compiègnes.  The regime’s increasing hostility towards religion creates an existential crisis for the Carmelite priory and its resident nuns. The opera focuses particularly on a young member of the order, the aristocratic Blanche de la Force, who must overcome a pathological timidity in order to answer her life’s calling.
    This fully staged production is sung in English with orchestra, conducted by our own Sam Laughton.
