Canon Mark Oakley - Admitting the Let Down - at Holy Ground

‘Admitting the let-down’: faith, doubt and the future of the Church
with Mark Oakley
As we slowly recover some stability amidst a world pandemic, what do we reckon has happened to our emotional and rational lives? What has happened to faith and the Church, to hope and priorities? Mark Oakley will explore some of these questions and will ask that if Churchill was right to say that ‘when you’re in hell, keep going!’, what will energise us in the coming months and years?
Mark Oakley is Dean of St John’s College, Cambridge, and Canon Theologian of Wakefield Cathedral. He is a respected communicator and the author of a number of books on the relationship between faith and poetry, including ‘The Splash of Words: Believing in Poetry’, which won the international Michael Ramsey Prize for theological writing.

The church encourages their friends to come along never mind the roses there is plenty of other things to do we give the rose a meer glance and not sniff i lament the church i loved but doesn't love me i love in church is rare it sometimes spring's up but someone always puts th em right, singing is just ineffable and somewha t oneness the words hardly matter difficult for a poet to understand
