Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, will give the 6th John Coventry Memorial Address on Saturday 20th March at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Farm Street, London W1, at 2.15pm. All are welcome to attend. Entry is free; there will be a retiring collection.
We are delighted that the Address will be given by Archbishop Williams, who is a President of AIF, in the church where the series of Memorial Lectures was founded following Fr John’s funeral there in 1998.  He will speak about "The Fellowship of the Baptised", developing further some questions on this theme raised by his address at the Willebrands Symposium at the Gregorian University in Rome in November 2009. See: http://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/2616
Rev David Coffey, President of the World Baptist Alliance, former co-president of AIF, and the previous ‘John Coventry Lecturer’, will be in the Chair.

Fr John Coventry SJ was a co-founder of AIF in 1968. He developed a theological understanding of mixed marriages between baptised Christians and gave pastoral care to hundreds of inter-church couples. He referred to interchurch families as “my life’s devotion”.  He served first as AIF Co-chair for many years and then as president up to the time of his death, when he was living with the Jesuit Community at Mount Street, adjoining the Farm Street Church.
We are indebted to Fr William Pearsall and the Mount Street Jesuit Community for making Farm Street Church and the Jesuit Centre available to us for the occasion.
