DESCRIPTION OF THE RELIGIOUS SITE
DESCRIPTION
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, universally known as The Round Church, is an Anglican church in the city of Cambridge, England'. It is located on the corner of Round Church Street and Bridge Street.
HISTORICAL RELEVANCE
The church was built around 1130, its shape being inspired by the rotunda in the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem. It was built by the Fraternity of the Holy Sepulchre, who were probably a group of Austin canons. It consisted of a round nave and an ambulatory, with a short chancel, probably in the shape of an apse. Initially it was a wayfarers' chapel on the Roman road known as Via Devana (this is now Bridge Street). By the middle of the 13th century it had become a parish church under the patronage of Barnwell Priory.
By 1994 the congregation had grown too big to be accommodated and it moved to the nearby Church of St Andrew the Great. The Holy Sepulchre is managed by Christian Heritage and is open for visitors. It contains an exhibition entitled The Impact of Christianity in England, and a Scriptorium. A video entitled Saints and Scholars can be seen in the church. The church hosts concerts, recitals and plays, and arranges courses, summer schools, and lectures. The religious site promotes and testifies to inter-religious dialogue and/or the interaction between different religious communities.
INTER-RELIGIOUS RELEVANCE
The Church is a community, commending the gospel of Christ with all of its implications both to the university and the wider public, through vibrant community, practical hospitality and thoughtful discourse.
Over 20,000 visitors from all around the world walk through its doors each year. These visitors - tourists, students and residents - have the opportunity to encounter in various ways the role Christianity has played in Cambridge history.
RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE
The aim of the Round Church talk is to provide a setting in which sceptics, agnostics, and believers can examine and explore Christian belief, its implications and its alternatives in the 21st century.
Their goal is to give people the chance to reflect on the ‘big picture’ questions of life in a context which allows for robust, honest, critical and courteous dialogue.
