‘Exploration into Spirit….
the History of the first 50 years of the Religious Experience Research Unit’  

by John Franklin

12pm Saturday 9th January
Online via Zoom


The Alister Hardy Trust would like to invite you to the launch of John Franklin’s new edition of the History of the RERC and AHT. This is the 3rd edition of the history bringing the story up to the end of 2019 and concluding with the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the RERU in 1969.

John is well known to everyone having served as Secretary to the former Alister Hardy Society and also the London Group leader for over 30 years. He produced the first two editions of the history which proved invaluable in recording the key moments and evolution of the RERC from the earliest days when Sir Alister Hardy first founded the unit.

The book launch will take place on Saturday 9th January 2021 at 12 noon online via Zoom.
It will be hosted by Marianne Rankin with John talking about the book and his involvement with the AHT over many years.

Please contact Mike Rush (email: mikerush@virginmedia.com) who will forward a Zoom invitation on Friday 8th January.

The book was recently published and copies can be ordered at £12 from:

Dr David Greenwood

We look forward to seeing you at the launch!
