Our Annual Dinner at the Melbourne Club this year will feature the Master of Trinity Hall as our guest speaker. It will be preceded by a reception for Trinity Hall Alumni.

The Rev Dr Jeremy Morris, after studying Modern History at Balliol College, Oxford,  worked in management consultancy and university management before reading Theology at Clare College, Cambridge.  He trained for the Anglican ordained ministry at Westcott House and became curate at St Mary’s, Battersea, before returning to Cambridge in 1996, as Director of Studies and then Vice-Principal of Westcott House.

Dr Morris is a Senior Associate of the Cambridge Theological Federation, an Affiliated Lecturer at the Faculty of Divinity, Cambridge University, and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.  His academic interests include modern European church history, Anglican theology and ecclesiology (especially High Anglicanism), the ecumenical movement, and arguments about religion and secularization. His current research projects include a study of the eucharist in Western Europe since 1800, to be published by Oxford University Press, and a short study of Anglican relations with the continent of Europe. He is one of the editors of a projected multi-volume history of Anglicanism, also to be published by Oxford University Press.  His books have included F.D. Maurice and the Crisis of Christian Authority (2005), Renewed by the Word: The Bible and Christian Revival since the Reformation (2005) and The Church in the Modern Age (2007).

Amongst his Church of England commitments, he is deputy chair of the Church of England’s Faith and Order Commission, and Director of the Archbishop’s Examination in Theology.  He was born and brought up in South London and includes music in all its forms amongst his interests. He is married to Alex, and they have three children. Together with his family he is learning to horse ride and he enjoys playing the piano.
