Lent Talks at Liverpool Parish Church
THE 1st speaker in the Lent Talks
programme at Liverpool Parish Church is Sir Jon Murphy QPM, Chief Constable
of Merseyside. As Sir Jon prepares for retirement, he will be speaking to
the City about the changing face of policing in Merseyside during his 41
years of service, and particularly during his 6 years as Chief Constable.
The Talk is open to everyone and takes place, at 6.15pm, on Thursday, 18
February 2016, at Liverpool Parish Church on Chapel Street (opposite the
Liver Building). The event will end by 7.15pm, and refreshments are
provided. Sir Jon's Talk is arranged in collaboration with the Philanthropy
Fellowship, run through the Community Foundation for Merseyside.
The Lent Talks at Liverpool Parish Church are possibly the longest running
public lecture series in the City. They began in the 1st half of the 20th
Century and have taken various forms since then, but always with the aim to
entertain, provoke and inspire the audience. A huge variety of the speakers
have appeared over the years, and we continue the tradition of breadth for
the 2016 season.
The Rector of Liverpool, the Revd Dr Crispin Pailing said:- "Sir Jon
is respected in the Force and across the City for his work in the region,
but policing is always challenging and sometimes controversial. I hope that
as many people as possible will come and take this opportunity to hear and
question the man responsible for policing in Merseyside."
