Richard Price and America’s Revolution: evening talk with Sir Roly Keating
Given from the same spot where Richard Price used to preach as one of this Meeting House’s early Ministers, this talk will explore and celebrate the ideas of one of the most remarkable thinkers of his day, whose ideas were an important influence on the Founding Fathers of America.
[Book your tickets here.](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/richard-price-and-americas-revolution-evening-talk-with-sir-roly-keating-tickets-1989659012667?aff=oddtdtcreator)
Richard Price was a philosopher, mathematician, scientist, non-conformist preacher and political radical whose remarkable circle of friends included Benjamin Franklin and Mary Wollstonecraft. He was a passionate advocate for the American Revolution, and provoked both controversy and admiration when he published a bestselling pamphlet on the subject in February 1776 (*Reflections on Civil Society…and the War with America*).
In the run-up to the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence, this event offers a chance to bring Price’s distinctive voice and ideas back to life, and to reflect on their relevance to contemporary and still-urgent debates about freedom, rights and society, including in America itself.
Sir Roly Keating is a former Chief Executive of the British Library, Controller of BBC Two and founding Controller of BBC Four. Since 2023 he has lived in the house on Newington Green which was home to Richard Price himself from 1758 to 1787.
Joining Roly for a panel discussion and Q&A after his talk with be Michael Goldfarb, presenter of BBC Radio 4’s upcoming series *Mr Jefferson’s Library* and the podcast *First Rough Draft of History*, and Bee Rowlatt, author of books including *In Search of Mary* and founding trustee of the human rights education charity the Wollstonecraft Society.

CMG Gives Back: Serve Dinner at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
