Christianity Explored talk

for 1 hour
Frensham: St Mary the Virgin
St Mary’s Church The Street Frensham, GU10 3EA, United Kingdom
Join us for another Christianity Explored talk in St Mary's Church Hall, exploring the notable achievements of extraordinary Christian men and women in art, literature, poetry, music, architecture and science who were driven by profound belief. This month Roy Waight will talk about the life and work of poet, orator and priest, George Herbert (1593 – 1633), revealing how his non-Biblical Christian texts are sublime in expression and profound in meaning. In his time, Herbert was referred to as "a most glorious saint and seer."
The Talks last about 40 minutes and are followed by informal discussion over wine and canapés. Everyone is most welcome. The evening is free. Any donations received go to supporting Guildford Action, Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice, and St Mary's Church.

Frensham: St Mary the Virgin

The Dedication of the historical Church of St Mary the Virgin is recorded in the Annals of Waverley Abbey for the year 1239: 

"The Church of Fermesham has been moved this year from the place where it was first sited to another place with the advice and help of Luke, Archdeacon of Surrey, and in the same year it has been dedicated."

Nothing is known of its previous site, but as to the likely cause of the removal, the Annals tell of massive storms in the area in the 1230s.

Our two magnificent church buildings in their rural settings within the Frensham Benefice provide the perfect place for worship and prayer in times of celebration and reflection.

We are a vibrant community of all ages and backgrounds with a Christian vision to make a positive difference to the people of Frensham and to those beyond. We would love you to join us.
