The Tale of Three Spiritual Cities<\/h1>\n

Join us this November as our Vice President, acclaimed historian and broadcaster, Dr Bettany Hughes, weaves a tale of one the world\u2019s greatest – and most ancient – cities.<\/p>\n

The city with three names – Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul – resonates as an idea, as well as a place. Standing as the gateway between the East and West, this city has served as the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman Empires.<\/p>\n

Bettany\u2019s lecture is based on the extensive research undertaken to write her epic biography of Istanbul from 6,000BC to 1924. In particular, she will investigate the story of religion and faith in this, the centre of Christendom, and civilisation\u2019s desire to understand the world in spiritual terms.<\/p>\n

The audience will have a chance to ask Bettany their questions, purchase a copy of her latest book\u00a0Istanbul\u00a0<\/em>and enjoy light refreshments during a drinks reception included in the ticket price.<\/p>\n
