These stained glass paintings explore Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth, drawing from the first chapter of Luke. In this encounter, Elizabeth—elderly and pregnant with John the Baptist—embodies the assurance that “with God nothing shall be impossible.”

Everyone is welcome to join our bi-monthly Theological Reading Group. We will be coming together on a Sunday to illuminate scripture through a selection of texts that span a breadth of history and textual types. There will be a theme for each session and collection of texts.
Getting There
For those who attend the 11am Eucharist at St James’s Piccadilly, you would be welcome to join us on the short walk from the church to St Pancras after the service. Otherwise, the church is accessible from Euston, King’s Cross and St Pancras stations.
The Theological Reading Group will be held at our partner church, St Pancras, Euston Road. Each 2-hour session will remain grounded in scripture and discussion stimulated by one pre-Reformation theological text, one modern theological text, and one non-theological text, typically a work of poetry. In each instance, pre-determined chapters will be scanned as a PDF and uploaded on the church website in advance of the session.
For each session, we will gather for coffee, tea, and biscuits at 1pm, with our discussion beginning at 1.15pm and concluding no later than 3pm. These sessions are an exciting opportunity to listen to and learn from each other respectfully. All are welcome, and each session will remain mindful of the Code of Conduct to ensure that we can discuss a broad range of works and themes in a way that is both stimulating and safe.
