                                                       LIDDON HOUSE

Liddon House is based at Mayfair’s Grosvenor Chapel and holds both public lectures throughout the year and monthly evening meetings for graduates and young professionals to discuss questions of faith in the context of contemporary society.

 

Named after Henry Parry Liddon (1829-1890), the success of Liddon House can be attributed to the late 19th and early 20th century luminary of liberal Catholicism in the Church of England Charles Gore (1853-1932). Gore spent his final years of ministry at Grosvenor Chapel after retiring as Bishop of Oxford. 

 

As a theologian, Gore wrote and lectured on Anglican doctrine, history and liturgy. As a liberal Catholic, he argued that it was essential to corroborate Christian theology with historical criticism of the Bible, anthropology, evolution and other discoveries of modern science. His dedication to exploring new ideas and to synthesising interdisciplinary findings on the basis of a steadfast faith is the model for Liddon House today.
