15 February Patrick Woodhouse
The practice of Faith in a Dismissive World
In contemporary Britain, claims of religious belief are increasingly not taken seriously, and regarded by many as meaningless, even absurd. Numbers attending church continue to decline. However, there remains a deep hunger for authentic spirituality.
These two lectures will touch on how the practice of the contemplative way of faith can, despite everything, make profound sense – and lead to a different kind of knowing: “The Christian of the future will be a mystic, or he will not exist at all.” (Karl Rahner)
Patrick Woodhouse is a writer and Anglican priest, and was until recently a Canon of Wells Cathedral. He is the author of Etty Hillesum, a Life Transformed and Life in the Psalms, Contemporary Meaning in Ancient Texts (both published by Bloomsbury). He lives in Somerset.
  • The talk was introduced by the Rev’d Canon Peter Seal.  To listen again, click the ‘play’ button (grey triangle in the player bar below).  Note that the first few words of the introduction are missing from the recording.
