Join us to explore the remarkable and often unexpected personal stories from the Christian Brethren archive, as we mark the bicentenary of the Brethren movement. Highlights include the gripping diaries of missionary E.H. Broadbent, featuring daring escapes, hijacked trains, and spy trials, as well as a photo album kept by Grace Grattan Guinness to chronicle her five-year honeymoon around the world. Meet our curators, conservators, and students to learn more about this fascinating archive.

This event is free and drop in.
