This year’s Madingley Conference is devoted to the theme Holy Beauty: The Iconography of Mount Athos. Few subjects speak so directly to the heart of Athonite spirituality, and few offer such a rich meeting point between theology, history, artistic practice, and the lived experience of the Holy Mountain.
As always, the setting of Madingley Hall – with its hospitality, its beautiful chapel, and its atmosphere of quiet reflection – provides the ideal environment for such an exploration. I am delighted that we will once again gather for Orthodox services in the medieval parish church and enjoy the fellowship that has become a hallmark of these weekends.
For the first time, we are offering the option to book online and, with only 40 places available, we request you reserve your place as soon as possible.
