Join us for a four-week journey into rich, poetic, and deeply personal theology as we explore My Theology: The Word Within the Words by Malcolm Guite.

Hosted by Paul Hill and Doug Moister, this learning group is open to all Ecclesia churches and Network members and will meet on four consecutive Tuesday mornings at 11amET via Zoom, starting on May 6th.


Malcom Guite himself will be joining us for the first session on May 6th!


Guite’s book offers a unique and imaginative reflection on faith, weaving together theology, poetry, and storytelling in a way that speaks to both the heart and the mind. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful discussion, wrestle with big questions, and deepen our understanding of God and His work in the world.

You'll need to purchase  My Theology: The Word Within the Words by Malcolm Guite in advance.


Come ready to read, reflect, and be shaped by the beauty of theology in community. We hope you’ll join us!

The Word within the Words is a Poet's Credo, in which Malcom Guite sets out to show how his Christian faith informs and underpins his poetry and, in turn, how poetry itself and, more widely, the poetic imagination help him understand and interpret his faith. After a brief introduction outlining a theology of Christ as the Word, the essential logos or meaning that underlies all things made flesh for us in Jesus, there are short chapters on Scripture, liturgy, and sacrament, each understood as a kind of poetry capable of transfiguring our vision and transforming our lives. In light of these, the final section of the book reflects on the all-transforming reality of Christ and the Kingdonot only within but well beyond the bounds of the church. The theology in this book is illustrated throughout with personal stories and with poetry, both classics from the cannon and Guite's own poems

In the My Theology series, the world's leading Christian thinkers explain some of the principal tenets of their theological beliefs in concise, pocket-sized books.
