‘Well-being’ is much discussed in the contemporary world. What is rather less well known is the substantial academic evidence that shows how faith significantly contributes to well-being. This is the subject of a new report by Theos, Religion and Well-Being: Assessing the Evidence. In an age when faith is sometimes blamed for a wide range of societal ills, this is important data.

Nick Spencer from Theos and Professor Walter Moberly and Revd Helen Thorpe will be leading a day entitled ‘Religion and Well Being’ on Friday 7 October in Durham.

Admission is free to students of Cranmer Hall and St John's College, £10 to all others. To book a place contact Val Strickland on v.e.strickland@durham.ac.uk
