00:00 So we're here at Durham Cathedral for the launch of this year's Lux Moralis.
00:03 What can visitors expect from it?
00:05 Well, they're going to experience Durham Cathedral like they've never experienced it before.
00:09 It's an amazing experience.
00:10 All the pews have been cleared out and there's an extraordinary sensation, extraordinary experience
00:15 that's going to await for visitors.
00:18 We're going to explore the way in which science and religion come together in this incredible
00:23 space.
00:24 I think how all of them point to God, our creator, and give us a chance to have a wonderful
00:29 evening and to be wowed by this incredibly ancient building, but by the modern insights
00:35 of science.
00:36 So come along, enjoy it.
00:37 It's going to be fabulous.
00:38 And churches and cathedrals were obviously built for the community and this brings a
00:42 whole wave of new people through the door who perhaps haven't visited the cathedral
00:46 before, doesn't it?
00:47 One of the things I love about Durham Cathedral is that people know it's their cathedral across
00:51 the North East.
00:52 So this is just another way in which we can welcome people to Durham Cathedral.
00:56 It's their cathedral and I hope they enjoy a fantastic time here.
