Malcolm Guite - Poems on the Passion (169)

00:00

Poet and priest Malcolm Guite helps us mark the death and resurrection of Jesus with poems from his series on the stations of the cross, and with his reflections on the Messianic Event. Nomad's David Blower responds to Malcolm’s poetry and thought in sound and song, and Kate Blower brings the Easter readings. Malcolm’s poems are published in the book Sounding the Seasons. Used with permission by Canterbury Press. We produce devotionals like this every month as bonus content for our supporters. So if you're interested in helping us pay the bills, head over to our Patreon page, where you'll also be able to access Nomad Book Club and our online community The Beloved Listener Lounge, and you'll be able to get your hands on a beloved listener mug!
