For this year's Hook Lecture, we welcome Jon Kuhrt to Leeds to explore our theme: is the church called to be 'Prophet' or 'Provider'?

Jaws

Amity Island had everything. Clear skies. Gentle surf. Warm water. People flocked there every summer. It was the perfect feeding ground.

Released in the summer of 1975, Steven Spielberg's classic ushered in the modern blockbuster, winning three Academy Awards, including one for John Williams’ brilliant, ominous and iconic score.
