The One People Oration is a lecture given each year at Westminster Abbey. The intention of the series is to make people 'think not only of all Christian people but of all mankind'.
This year's Oration is given by Nada Al-Nashif, and is chaired by the Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle, Dean of Westminster. Ms Al-Nashif took up the position of UN Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights in 2020 after almost 30 years of experience within the United Nations system around the world.
The orations commenced in 1966, the 900th anniversary year of the consecration and dedication of Edward the Confessor's original church. The phrase ‘One People’ was coined by Edward Carpenter (then Archdeacon, later Dean of Westminster) in 1965-1966.
