Praying through Poetry

Praying through poetry can offer a way into praying that articulates what previously we could not express, making us think more deeply and imaginatively about faith, life, relationships, God and all that there is.

We will work with a variety of themes and poets offering a space to taste the gift that poetry can bring in opening up our experience of prayer.

The event is led by Mark Russell-Smith, a retired Anglican Priest who, like many, finds poetry increasingly challenging his imagination and an exciting pathway for prayer.

Further information on the themes for each session can be found here.
