Rowan Williams, one of the leading thinkers of our time, offers an introductory talk on ‘Faith in the Imagination’ followed by readings of his own poetry, alongside poems featured in his recently published anthology, A Century of Poetry, with an opportunity for questions at the end. 

Rowan Williams was born in Wales and studied in Cambridge and Oxford, where he taught theology (including as Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity, Oxford) before becoming Bishop of Monmouth and later Archbishop of Canterbury (2002 - 2012). He was Master of Magdalene College from 2013 to 2020, is the author of many books on theology, literature, culture and several volumes of poetry, and is an internationally-renowned speaker and commentator.
