This afternoon the Prince of Wales gave a lecture in the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford entitled 'Islam and the Environment'. This was organised by the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies which HRH The Prince of Wales is the patron. Apparently it was 17 years ago when he last delivered a lecture here entitled 'Islam and the West'. He said he would not leave it that long again before he was back!
As you can see in the photo (left) it was a packed house and he received a standing ovation at the end. He talked about the division between humanity and nature and how we need to connect our spiritual soul to our environment around us. He quoted poetry from Wordsworth, lines from Lewis Carroll and from the Koran and inspired us all. It was a very enjoyable afternoon.
