The theme of this term’s Main Meetings:

Financial giants come crashing down around our ears. Repossesions, evictions and bankruptcies soar; and the great British youth score the worst underage drinking figures worldwide.

Cambridge turns 800, but nothing ever seems to change here. Well… Science and technology may now give us the ability to change our genes, artificially create life or end it all through a planet-eating black hole. If we’re not careful we’ll bring the world to an early demise…

But then wasn’t it supposed to end millennia ago? When Paul wrote, “the day of Christ is at hand,” he thought he’d see it, surely? At least we can be sure that we should be looking forwards, and not back… right?
