Hibbert Lectures

The Hibbert Lectures are an annual series of non-sectarian lectures on theological issues.[1] They are sponsored by the Hibbert Trust, which was founded in 1847 by the Unitarian Robert Hibbert with a goal to uphold "the unfettered exercise of private judgement in matters of religion.". In recent years the lectures have been broadcast by the BBC.
