Riding Lights has performed at the Lambeth Conference this week, the ten-yearly meeting of the bishops of the Anglican Communion.
On Monday the team of six actors performed a short piece called Making Peace by Paul Burbridge as part of the Spouses Conference of events. On Tuesday, the spouses led a joint session with the bishops on the abuse of power which began with Daughters of the House by Bridget Foreman and which introduced the issues by weaving together a number of Bible stories illustrating Jesus’s attitude to women. According to the Anglican Communion News Service (and indeed the accounts of the performers) "the drama – which reduced many members of the audience to tears – was followed by prolonged applause".
