Fact, fiction, faith: AI in an uncertain world – a conversation with Jocelyn Burnham, and Dr Shauna Concannon.
St James’s hosts inclusive services and a cultural programme. We seek to be a welcoming space for people to reflect, create and debate.
St James’s is a place to explore, reflect, pray, and support all who are in need. We are a Church of England parish in the Anglican Communion. This is a place for everyone who’s wondering about life’s big questions and striving for a better world.
We host a year-round cultural programme encompassing music, visual art and spoken word, drawing on St James’s rich cultural history including artists, writers and musicians Mary Beale, Mary Delany, William Blake, Ottobah Cugoano and Leopold Stokowski.
We try to put our faith into action by educating ourselves and speaking out on issues of injustice, especially concerning refugees, asylum, earth and racial justice, and LGBTQ+ issues.
We aspire to be a home where everyone can belong. We’re known locally and globally for our unique history and beauty, as well as faith in action, creativity and the arts, and a commitment to social and environmental justice.
We strive to be a Eucharist-centred, diverse and inclusive Christian community promoting life in abundance, wellbeing and dignity for all.
St James’s Piccadilly has been at the heart of its community since 1684. We invite you to play your part in securing this historic place for generations to come.

Tenfold is the first group exhibition by Royal Academy Schools’ 2025 cohort, marking the end of a year of growth and accumulation and the start of a new year at the Academy. Installed in and around the church are new works by ten second year students at the Royal Academy. The students have spent the last few months in the Church and its grounds, contemplating the site as a space for community, growth and support. The installation of new works brings the long shared history of the Royal Academy and St James’s Piccadilly to the forefront, opening up a space for new collaborations and dialogues.
The Royal Academy Schools offers a 3-year postgraduate programme in contemporary fine art for up to 17 artists each year. The course is aimed at artists who want to develop their practice through exposure to ideas and constructive critique, dialogue with a diversity of voices and access to specialist workshops.
