Euro MP Christine Oddy has been invited to attend the Coventry Cathedral Provost' s Breakfasts - the series of events where guest speakers look back at what they see as the key events of the millennium and consider the challenges likely to be encountered during the next 1,000 years.

She will join other leading figures from the city and neighbouring Warwickshire on Wednesday (12 May) as a guest of the Cathedral’s Provost, the Very Reverend John Petty.

The speaker will be the former rector of St James, Piccadilly, the Rev Donald Reeves, who will outline his thoughts on 'A New Europe'.

Ms Oddy has enjoyed a long association with Coventry Cathedral and earlier this month was invited by Canon Andrew White, who heads its International Ministry, to join the Advisory Board of the Centre for International Conciliation.

She said:

"The last months of the present millennium are a very good time to look back and consider what have been the key moments of the last 1,000 years and it is typical of Coventry Cathedral’s wide outlook on life that this has been chosen as the theme for the breakfasts."
