A Poetic Journey Through the Psalms

A Poetic Journey Through the Psalms

Poet-Priest Malcolm Guite will take us on a poetic journey through the book of Psalms, exploring how these scriptures both prophesy the coming of Christ and his kingdom and also give voice to our own inner life of prayer and longing for God.

Malcolm was ordained as a priest in the Church of England in 1991 and was Chaplain for 20 years at Girton College, Cambridge, where he remains a Supernumerary Fellow. He is the author of five books of poetry and several books on Christian faith and theology. He also writes the weekly “Poet’s Corner” column for the Church Times.

Thursday 19th October 2023, 7:30pm, at The Music Room, Bradfield College

Car Parking is available at Bradfield College Sports Complex, RG7 6BZ
