Tablet Webinar 1: All Souls’ Day: Why the Church Remembers the Dead with Very Rev Dr Richard Ounsworth OP
Every year on 2 November, Catholics gather to pray for those who have died. But why does the Church remember the dead, and what does this ancient tradition tell us about the Christian understanding of death, hope and eternal life? In this Tablet webinar, we explore the origins of All Souls’ Day, its place in the Church’s liturgical life, and the enduring significance of praying for the dead. From the monastic traditions of the Middle Ages to the experience of bereavement today, we ask what it means to believe that death does not end our communion in Christ.
A conversation about memory, faith, grief and the hope that lies at the heart of the Christian tradition.
Wednesday, 4 November | 6pm – 7pm GMT
