CCND will be joined by Dr Becky Alexis-Martin for a tour of this fantastic museum. Meet at 12:45 in Roberts Park (look for the Christian CND banner) for a picnic – bring your own food and drink. We will then go to the museum at 14:00 for a guided tour by Becky and plenty of time to browse. Admission to the museum is free. Nearest station: Saltaire. It would be helpful (but not essential) if you can let us know you are coming by emailing christians@cnduk.org.
Performed by award-winning British actor/playwright Michael Mears - is his adaptation of one of the atomic-bomb survivors’ accounts from John Hersey’s remarkable book HIROSHIMA.
Father Wilhelm was a German Jesuit priest living in Hiroshima, who survived the blast but witnessed much of the destruction. Told with compassion, warmth and flashes of humour, THE PRIEST’S TALE is a clear-eyed depiction of the pity of war…and of the terror wrought at the start of our nuclear age. After the 1 hour (approx.) performance there will be a Q and A.
