Description
St Francis College invites you to the 2026 David Binns Memorial Lecture, one of the College’s premier annual public events celebrating the rich relationship between theology, liturgy, the arts and public engagement. This year’s lecture will be delivered by The Reverend Christopher Waterhouse, Rector of St James’ King Street, Sydney—one of Australia’s most significant Anglican parishes. An Anglican priest, arts advocate, broadcaster and public speaker, Christopher Waterhouse is widely recognised for his commitment to fostering meaningful dialogue between faith, worship and creative expression. In this lecture, Christopher will explore the work of two acclaimed British Christian artists, Nicholas Mynheer and Roger Wagner, whose distinctive artistic visions have made a significant contribution to contemporary sacred art. As a special feature, Christopher will share The Empty Tomb, an original work by Nicholas Mynheer from his own collection, providing a unique opportunity to view and discuss the artwork in person.
