Guide to Oxford
Walking the few hundred yards between two Anglican churches – St Giles and St
Mary Magdalen – you will pass the Oxford Oratory, the Benedictines, the Eagle
and Child pub where the Inklings used to meet, the Christian Scientists,
Regent’s Park College (Anabaptist), the Quakers, Pusey House, the Dominicans,
and the Martyr’s Memorial erected to commemorate the Protestants who died
under Mary Tudor (a memorial to the Catholic martyrs has recently been put up in
another part of town). To anyone who notices these things,
Oxford
will start to seem a very religious town. It
is a place of religious conversation and revival, a place where faith and reason
meet and sometimes clash. Where better for a revival of the Christian
imagination and the spirit of charity in the twenty-first century?
