The Hellins Lecture 2026: The Revd Dr Malcolm Guite, renowned poet & priest
About this Event
The Hellins Lecture is an occasional theological lecture in memory of the late Canon E J W Hellins DD, who endowed a trust to resource theological education in the diocese, which in more recent years has been used to invite a distinguished keynote speaker to the diocese.
This year we are delighted to welcome the Revd Dr Malcolm Guite, renowned poet and Life Fellow and a former Chaplain of Girton College, Cambridge, who will be lecturing on the following theme: ”Imagination bodies forth”: Christ and the Poetic Imagination.
Malcolm Guite is acclaimed for his books of religious poetry, particularly his sonnets, which often engage with Christian themes, the Psalms, nature, and the liturgical calendar. He has authored acclaimed collections like Sounding the Seasons, The Singing Bowl, and David’s Crown, and is praised for making faith-infused poetry accessible and inspiring.
As parking immediately around St Deiniol’s Church in limited, you are advised to use the Tinkersdale Car Park (CH5 3DQ) in the village which is a short walk away.
