Book Launch – Fierce Imagining – By Rachel Mann
Thursday 9th March 7.00 to 9.00pm at Manchester Cathedral
Come and join us for the launch of Rachel’s new book ‘Fierce Imaginings’: The Great War, Ritual, Memory and God.
It is Rachel’s fourth full-length book and examines, via poetry and literature, cultural history, theology and family story the complex weave of The Great War in the iconography and imaginary of ‘British’ identities.
The central thread concerns Rachel’s grandfathers Bert and Sam (both of whom fought in the war) and great-aunt Betty (whose story was definitively affected by the war) and how their encounters with violence has shaped her family’s stories.
Nestled in the heart of the communities of East Didsbury and Burnage, St Nicholas Church stands as a beacon of faith, hope, and love. Under the devoted leadership of our Lead Minister, Revd Dr Augustine Tanner-Ihm, OMS, we are a vibrant, inclusive, and intergenerational Christian community committed to living out the bold faith of Jesus Christ.
