A note about taking services during the second half of the minster’s sabbatical leave in August/September

Our minister, Andrew Brown, is on the second part of his sabbatical during August/September. As before part of this time will be spent working with the President of the International Association for Religious Freedom (IARF), Prof. George M. Williams, to produce an English language edition of Imaoka Shin’ichirō’s essays, and to further develop the educational programme of the IARF’s “Free Religion Institute.” On this occasion, Andrew will also be beginning work with the Czech Unitarians to produce a final translation of Norbert Fabián Čapek’s “To the Sunny Shore: A Guide to Living Joyfully”.

To help make this possible, the Cambridge Unitarian Church’s “Life of the Church” group are asking members of the congregation whether they can help to run our Sunday morning services during August and September? 

Please use the following Google form to tell us which dates you are available to help, and which roles you are interested in:
