Join us for a special cinema screening of The First Hymn, featuring a live performance, and an exclusive Q&A with presenter Professor John Dickson!

The First Hymn is the story of an ancient scrap of papyrus uncovered in the deserts of Egypt that contains the remnants of the oldest known Christian hymn. In its Lyrics Professor John Dickson discovers evidence of beliefs some say Christians never held this early in history. However, uncovering this ancient treasure is only the first step. With the help of world-renowned Christian composers, Chris Tomlin and Ben Fielding, Professor Dickson sets out on an epic journey to record the First Hymn as a modern worship song for the new millennium.

The run time of the movie is 87 minutes. Doors will open at 6:15pm and the screening will commence at 6:30pm at Dendy cinemas Canberra centre
