We welcome the Very Rev. Dr. Robert Willis, Dean Emeritus of Canterbury Cathedral, as our Theologian in Residence from November 7-10. Canterbury Cathedral is the mother church of the Anglican Communion, where Dean Willis served for over 20 years. He comes to Christ Church at a time when Christians reflect on the spiritual bond between the living and the dead and will lead us in conversations on remembrance, grieving, and the communion of saints on November 7 and 9 and will preach at the 10:30 AM service on November 10. The Christ Church Choir and chamber ensemble complete the weekend’s residency with a concert in the Church on Sunday at 4 PM. Music in Memoriam includes music from Philip Ledger’s Requiem and reflections from Dean Willis, followed by a reception.
