Poetry: A Doorway to Contemplation | CONSPIRE 2021 | Day One

About this sermon

In this session, Drew Jackson will take us on a journey into the world of poetry, exploring why the biblical writers so often used it and unpacking what Fr. Richard means when he calls poetry “the undefended doorway into deeper consciousness.” This video series was a part of the CONSPIRE 2021, an interactive online event that featured conference presenters James Finley, Barbara Holmes, Jacqui Lewis, Brian McLaren, Richard Rohr, and Mirabai Starr from September 24-26, 2021.
