DESCRIPTION:We greatly look forward to our 2025 Lent Course\, in which we
  will explore the poetry and prose of the great 17th century writer and A
 nglican divine George Herbert. Several of his poems\, such as ‘The God o
 f love my shepherd is’\, ‘Teach me\, my God and King’ and ‘Let all
  the world in every corner sing’ are familiar as much-loved hymns. Other
 s are less well known and dramatize an occasionally troubled but always de
 eply personal relationship with God. Links to the poems and prose to be st
 udied will be made available on line before each session and via handouts 
 on the evening.\n\nThe course will be led by Martin Amherst Lock who read 
 English at Corpus Christi College\, Cambridge and led last year’s fantas
 tic Lent Course on John Donne.\n\nThere is no need to book. Do just come a
 long on the following dates:\n\nWednesday 12 March\nBiographical backgrou
 nd: Herbert the metaphysical poet\n\nWednesday 19 March\nThe Temple: Herbe
 rt the country parson \n\nMonday 24 March\n‘His beams shall cheer my br

 loister and conclude at 8pm with sung Compline\, providing an opportunity
