Many people are fascinated by the rich cultural heritage to be discovered in art, literature, music and historic buildings. However the fact that so much of this heritage has been substantially shaped by Christian belief and practice can pose a major problem of access and understanding for those who lack familiarity with Christian concepts or biblical themes. Christianity and Culture was therefore

founded in 1999 to address this key cultural issue. The books and interactive resources created by Christianity and Culture are now used worldwide in universities and schools and by a general audience. Christianity and Culture also works with important historic churches to bring recent research to life through interpretation schemes which will help people of all ages and backgrounds understand and enjoy these remarkable buildings and the stories which they hold.

A momentous occasion that marks a real change in our understanding of the Jewish story in York. We're so proud of our own Dr Louise Hampson for her contributions to this incredible piece of York history.

Thanks to Rabbi Dr Elisheva Salamo, and Dr Louise Hampson of the University of York's StreetLife Team, for uncovering the blue plaque on Coney Street outside the Next building yesterday. It celebrates York's forgotten C13 synagogue.

Have you read this article in The Conversation UK? Have a look at one of our projects, featuring work done by Dr Louise Hampson and Dr John Jenkins: How a French rabbi helped build a thriving Jewish community in medieval York – before a shocking massacre.
