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 Ang
 lican divine George Herbert. Several of his poems\, such as ‘The God of 
 love my shepherd is’\, ‘Teach me\, my God and King’ and ‘Let all t
 he world in every corner sing’ are familiar as much-loved hymns. Others 
 are less well known and dramatize an occasionally troubled but always deep
 ly personal relationship with God. Links to the poems and prose to be stud
 ied 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 En
 glish at Corpus Christi College\, Cambridge and led last year’s fantasti
 c Lent Course on John Donne.\n\nThere is no need to book. Do just come alo
 ng on the following dates:\n\nWednesday 12 March\nBiographical background:
