Evening worship with preachers Nadia Bolz-Weber, Doug Gray and Pádraig Ó Tuama. Worship led by liturgist Doug Gay.
Nadia Bolz-Weber is one of the most distinctive and compelling voices in American Christianity. A Lutheran pastor, she founded the House for All Sinners and Saints in Denver and, more recently, New Beginnings, a worshipping community in Denver’s women’s prison, and the Red State Revivals, drawing together many thousands of progressive Christians in conservative heartlands. Her three books, Cranky, Beautiful Faith, Accidental Saints and Shameless were all New York Times bestsellers (all published in the UK by Canterbury Press).
Doug Gay is Senior Lecturer in Practical Theology at the University of Glasgow. He is a Church of Scotland minister and has taught preaching and worship to ministry students for many years. He is author of Remixing the Church, Reforming the Kirk (based on his Chalmers Lectures) and God Be In My Mouth: 40 Ways to Grow as a Preacher. His next book, Teach Us To Pray, on leading congregational prayer will be published in 2027 and he is currently writing on reformed theology and democracy.
Pádraig Ó Tuama is a poet, theologian and broadcaster who has worked in reconciliation in Ireland for many years, including as Leader of the Corrymeela Community. He is the author of In the Shelter (Hodder & Stoughton 2016), Daily Prayer from Corrymeela (Canterbury Press 2017) and, with Glenn Jordan, of Borders and Belonging (Canterbury Press 2021).
Ó Tuama is a staff poet with the On Being Project, and hosts Poetry Unbound, a highly-popular podcast. He is Professor in the Practice of Spirituality at Yale Divinity School. Padraig will join us online.
