There are many attempts at the moment to further liberalise abortion in the UK and to silence those offering any alternative viewpoint, whether that’s ‘pills by post’ abortions, ‘decriminalisation’, buffer zones or censorship on pro-life students at universities.



The dangers of these situations are being highlighted by the theme for this year’s March for Life which is ‘Abortion isn’t Healthcare’. Join thousands at this family-friendly event.

Dear Friends,

The Cambridge branch of the Historical Association in association with Waterstones is putting on a History Day on the morning of Saturday 29 June at Waterstones, in which Dr Lucy Underwood will be speaking on Catholics in Tudor England. Dr Underwood is a Research Fellow at Warwick University and her academic career has been rooted in researching the lives of Catholics, notably children, in Tudor England. I thought, therefore, that members of your communities might like to hear about her talk. Please feel free to include it in newsletters.

The other two speakers are James Crossland, talking about the pre-1914 'war on terror' (in the form of nationalist and anarchist terrorism) and Professor Peter Allen on 'Politics, Death and Taxes' (which, he assures us, is not as depressing as it sounds!).

The event starts at 10.00 and continues till lunchtime. Tickets cost £8.00 and are available from Waterstones: https://www.waterstones.com/events/history-days-in-collaboration-with-the-historical-association/cambridge; for Waterstones Loyalty Cardholders it is £5.00 and members of the Historical Association can register for free.

These History Days have proved immensely enjoyable and certainly enlightening. I do hope some of your parishioners and community members will be able to join us for this one.

With best wishes,

Yours sincerely,

Sean Lang
