Mark Oakley, Dean of St John's, Cambridge, explores the language that is needed to express and explore the Christian faith.

The Snowfall of Words: poetry as the native language of faith

What language is needed to express and explore the Christian faith? Mark Oakley argues for the poetic as being the home language of belief. He will outline why he thinks the church and the world both need more poetry in them at a time when the curse of literalism and the abuse of language are both commonplace.

Mark Oakley is Dean of St John’s College, Cambridge, and an acclaimed author and broadcaster. He is an Ambassador for Stop Hate UK, a trustee of the Civil Liberties Trust and a patron of Tell MAMA which counters hate crime against Muslims.

Coffee will be available from 10am.
