- **Event Description**: We are thrilled to announce that the featured speaker for the 2026 Palmer Memorial Lecture on 06 May is celebrated author and church historian Diana Butler Bass!

The event will be held on the evening of Wednesday, 06 May at 6:00 p.m. at Christ Church Cathedral, 150 Church Street, Fredericton, NB.

The Palmer Memorial Lecture Series comprises an annual talk on matters of current religious significance and spiritually formative impact, hosted in honour and at the bequest of the late Harry and Sandra Palmer, long-time devoted members of the Christ Church Cathedral community in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The Palmer Memorial Lecture is delivered each year by a prominent and engaging figure in the world of spirituality -- someone who is contributing and often leading important conversations about how we can deepen and live out our Christian faith in today's world.

Our 2026 lecturer, Diana Butler Bass, is a popular speaker, an inspiring preacher, and an award-winning author of eleven books. She is trained as a church historian, holding a Ph.D. in religious studies from Duke University, with special emphasis in American ecclesiastical history. Diana is one of America's most trusted commentators on religion and contemporary spirituality, especially where faith intersects with politics and culture. You might know her from her twice-weekly e-newsletter, The Cottage, in which she expresses her courageous and prophetic voice to an increasingly broad audience. Diana's passion is sharing great ideas to change lives -- helping listeners and readers to see themselves, their place in history, and God, differently.

Join us in-person for the talk and an informal reception with light refreshments to follow ($30 per ticket). People wishing to join from a distance can purchase a ticket to watch the livestream ($10 per ticket). You are invited to make a donation which will help to sponsor seats for people who could not otherwise attend.
