Sat­urday 2^nd Novem­ber – Cinema Para­diso: A Room with a View (1985) — in trib­ute to Mag­gie Smith:

3.00pm for a punc­tu­al 3.15pm start.  Inter­val at 4.15pm — wine and cheese (per­haps from Tuscany but not Chi­anti).  5.30pm Finis

RSVP not essen­tial.  Screen­ing in the Church Hall.

Lucy Hon­eychurch is a young Eng­lish­wo­man on the Grand Tour in Italy, chap­eroned by her older cous­in Char­lotte Bart­lett. At a hotel in Florence, Lucy meets charm­ing, free-spir­ited George Emer­son and his fath­er.  Although intrigued by George, on her return to Eng­land Lucy pon­ders mar­riage to the wealthy and eccent­ric Cecil Vyse. When George reappears in her life, Lucy must decide between them.  Helena Bon­ham Carter appears as Lucy in the role which launched her career. Mag­gie Smith is bril­liant as Charlotte.

Renowned for its beau­ti­ful, paint­erly dir­ec­tion, Fiorentino design, Puccini arias — and Oscar-win­ning screen­play by Ruth Praw­er Jhab­vala which cap­tures E M Forster’s nov­el so well — the film became an imme­di­ate classic.

Please speak to Brett with any enquir­ies or comments.

Sat­urday 9th Novem­ber — 2.30–5.00pm

Book Launch: “When Hope Came” — Thai­l­and, Lep­rosy and a Leg­acy of Caring

Author: Mem­ber of St Luke’s Church:- Janet Walmsley

In a remote island sanc­tu­ary in North­ern Thai­l­and, Aus­trali­an couple Dr Tre­vor and Heath­er Smith ded­ic­ated their lives for over 50 years to bring­ing hope, heal­ing and res­tor­a­tion to people who soci­ety had rejec­ted and “thrown away”. This remark­able couple battled floods, stigma, poverty and isol­a­tion, work­ing along­side loc­al and over­seas col­leagues to bring about change in treat­ment and com­munity atti­tudes. Theirs is a story of resi­li­ence and faith, of pion­eer­ing med­ic­al and social innov­a­tion, and of ded­ic­a­tion and per­sever­ance “against all odds”.  Most of all, it is a story of hope.

Event includes After­noon Tea and a Q&A ses­sion chaired by Dr Greg Clarke, CEO, The Lep­rosy Mis­sion Australia.

Cel­eb­rat­ing 150 years of The Lep­rosy Mis­sion’s work to erad­ic­ate the dis­ease and the stigma of leprosy.
