Join Jay Hulme on Thursday 6 February for ‘Theology & Poetry’. Doors open at 3:30pm for a 4pm start.
Jay Hulme is a poet, speaker, and theologian from Leicester, in the UK. His 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.
Please note: This event will take place in a space at Newcastle Cathedral that is accessible by lift. Full details on how to access the space will be provided in advance.
