Snell Lecture at St. James Cathedral Toronto

We are delighted to announce that we are bringing back the Snell Lectures!

Join us on Sunday, June 2 for Evensong in St. James Cathedral at 4:30pm followed by a reception at 5:30pm and the Snell Lecture in Snell Hall at 6:00pm when we welcome Danny Johnson MVO FRSA (Officer of The Royal Victoria Order, Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts) as our speaker. Danny was appointed Coronation Planning Director in October 2022, working closely with the Archbishop of Canterbury, The Royal Household, Westminster Abbey, and a host of others on every detail of the Coronation Service.

In his talk, ‘Fit for a King: The Symbolism of a Coronation’, Danny discusses his journey exploring the iconography of past Coronation Services, their symbolism, and what their visual language lends to the storytelling and understanding of a Coronation, as well as the monarchy today.
