Christopher & Mike

Christopher West

Christopher is a Catholic theologian, author and international speaker. President of the Theology of the Body Institute and Professor of Theological Anthropology in its joint master’s programme with Pontifex University, he has spent decades making St John Paul II’s Theology of the Body accessible to ordinary people.

He explores the meaning of the body, love, marriage, desire and our deepest longing for God. His books include Theology of the Body for Beginners and Good News About Sex and Marriage.

Mike Mangione

Mike is an Americana and folk singer-songwriter who has toured internationally. He has shared his music at Theology of the Body Institute events since 2008 and is a co-creator of The Well.

His live music is woven through Christopher’s presentations, giving space to reflect on beauty, love and the desires of the human heart.

The evening

Come and be renewed.

Through music and reflection inspired by St John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, discover how our deepest desires point towards God’s love. The evening leads into Eucharistic Adoration, a time of prayer before Christ present in the Eucharist, with time afterwards to meet the speakers.

Everyone is welcome, whether you are familiar with Theology of the Body or discovering it for the first time. The evening is rooted in the Catholic faith. Recommended age 15+.
