‘Theology & Poetry’ – Afternoon talk by Jay Hulme

for 1 hour, 30 mins
Newcastle Cathedral
St Nicholas Square Newcastle, NE1 1PF, United Kingdom

Hosted by the Diocese of Newcastle’s Continuing Ministerial Formation (CMF), join Jay Hulme, a poet, speaker and theologian from Leicester, for a fascinating and inclusive afternoon talk.

Jay’s books for children have been nominated for some of the UK’s oldest and most prestigious writing and illustration awards. His books for adults are published by one of the UK’s leading Christian publishers and are widely reviewed and praised, with his poem ‘Jesus at the Gay Bar’ becoming an international sensation. Jay speaks and preaches at churches, cathedrals, and theological conferences, and is a regular contributor to the BBC’s Daily Service.

When he isn’t writing, speaking, or caring for the 1144-year-old church where he serves as churchwarden, Jay enjoys exploring (and climbing up) the ancient churches and cathedrals that litter the British landscape, finding inspiration in their beauty, and in the faith which has been practised there for centuries.

Pre-booking is not essential, but it would be greatly appreciated to help us plan refreshments and seating.
