10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration | 14115 Hillcrest Road, Dallas, TX 75254
Poetry, through its artful use of sound and sense, is able to communicate to the emotions as well as to the intellect and so connect with both the heart and head. Join us for an exploration of the ways in which poems embody spiritual truths and become vessels for deep growth and healing. Through close-readings of poems that strongly “incarnate insight” (in the words of poet and priest Malcolm Guite) and guided writing exercises, we will work to see what poems can teach us about our common call to witness and social action.
THE REV. DR. TRAVIS HELMS
The Rev. Dr. Travis Helms is Campus Missioner at the Episcopal Student Center on the University of Texas Campus.
