We are delighted to be hosting our first free online lecture of the year: Faith at the RHN

Inspired by conversations with patients as part of the ‘Legacy of Care’ project marking 170 years of the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability’s history, this lunchtime lecture brings to life – for the first time – the full history of religion and faith at the RHN.

Sharing newly-discovered facts, characters and stories from the RHN’s Archives and beyond, volunteer archive researcher Carl Banks will present an exciting cast of historical personalities, key events and generous acts of philanthropy which created, shaped and fostered spiritual lives and spaces at the Hospital.

You’ll hear an overview of this religious history, beginning with the RHN’s spiritual foundations in 1854 right up to the present day. Drawing on the past voices of patients, staff and, especially, Chaplains, we’ll explore how spiritual needs have been raised, met – or not – and how they have evolved across the decades.

Pastor Geoff Coyne, our current Chaplain, will bring to light the religious and non-religious spiritual needs of people at the RHN today.
