Catholic Union to host 'God in No 10' Webinar

Source: Catholic Union

The Catholic Union will be hosting a webinar with Fr Mark Vickers on his book, God in No 10: The Personal Faith of the Prime Ministers, from Balfour to Blair. The online event will feature a discussion between the author and Catholic Union Deputy Director, James Somerville-Meikle. People taking part will have the opportunity to ask questions.

The webinar is on Tuesday 20 June, from 6.30-8.00pm. It is free to attend and open to everyone, but people will need to register in advance in order to receive the link to join the talk.

God in No 10 is an account of the personal faith of the twentieth-century British Prime Ministers. The book was launched by Charles (Lord) Moore at an event in Parliament last year. It has received excellent reviews since its publication, including from the Telegraph and The Tablet.

Mark Vickers read History at Durham University and practised law. Having studied for the priesthood at the English College in Rome, he was ordained for the Diocese of Westminster in 2003. He is currently a parish priest in West London.

The webinar builds on the Catholic Union's proud history of leading public discussion on Catholic matters, including our annual Craigmyle Lecture and a new "Pub Talk" series which started earlier this year.

Fr Mark Vickers comments: "I once thought my future lay in politics. God, however, had other plans, and I have no regrets. Researching and writing the book allowed me to combine two passions: faith and politics. Surprisingly, no one had ever covered the Prime Ministers' personal faith. There are many surprises challenging received wisdom: sceptics and seances in the early twentieth century; increasingly devout Christians in the later period. I look forward to sharing my findings on this Catholic Union webinar."
