Conversation and performance: Voices of democracy
About this Event
Sitting within the nation’s house of memory, discover the history of democracy around Parliament Square through the words of politicians, writers and campaigners. From Magna Carta to Nelson Mandela, listen to those who tested the foundations, explored enduring principles or demanded fairer representation. How do their voices reflect the enduring story of democracy and inspire hope for the democratic future?
As the UK’s democracy continues to evolve, Westminster Abbey Institute invites you to the place where it began. Join the conversation this Autumn about democracy’s past, present, and future, in our programme of events: The Long Story of Democracy.
Westminster Abbey Institute aims to nurture and revitalise moral and spiritual values in public life and service. It seeks to replenish and sustain public servants of all faiths and none, and to celebrate and animate public service as a force for good. The Institute draws on Westminster Abbey’s resources of spirituality and theological learning, rooted in its daily worshipping life and broader Christian tradition, to convene discussion, nourish reflection and inspire regeneration.
