The Tablet Lecture 2026: Keeping the Dream of Peace Alive

An Evening with Archbishop Paul Gallagher KCMG At a time of war, political upheaval and shifting global alliances, what role can diplomacy still play in building peace? Join Archbishop Paul Gallagher KCMG, the Holy See’s Secretary for Relations with States and International Organisations (the Vatican’s foreign minister), for a rare public conversation on faith, diplomacy and the search for peace in an increasingly divided world. Drawing on more than 40 years of diplomatic experience across Africa, Latin America, Asia and Europe, Archbishop Gallagher will share insights from the Holy See’s engagement with today’s major global challenges, and reflect on the power of dialogue, moral leadership and patient diplomacy. The discussion will be moderated by the broadcaster Julie Etchingham.
