This year's Holy Week preacher is the Very Rev'd Dr Mark Oakley, Dean of Southwark.
Who are you becoming? Poetic warnings
‘All the poet can do today is to warn’
Wilfred Owen
In the first three of his Holy Week reflections, the Dean will explore poems that warn us today about who or what we might be turning into as individuals and as a society.
Holy Week reflections take place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of Holy Week at 6.30pm. Each address will be followed by a short sung service of compline.
Seeing in the Dark: Poetry and Holy Week
As move into Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, the Dean moves on to explore the ambiguities, resonances, and provocations, of poems that seek to deepen the mystery of God rather than resolve it.
The Dean will be preaching at the 6.30pm service on Maundy Thursday and the 12pm Preaching of the Passion on Good Friday.
