The Department of Religious Studies will provide people with an opportunity to learn more about Canterbury Cathedral\u2019s stained glass windows in a series of special lectures during 2019.<\/p>\n
This will include an opportunity to view the windows before hearing about how they were made, the stories they tell, the biblical figures they illustrate and their relevance today.<\/p>\n
The series, entitled See Through Stories: Windows on the World<\/em><\/a>, begins on Wednesday 1 May and is a collaboration between the School of European Culture and Languages, VCS<\/a> (Visual Commentary on Scripture) of King\u2019s College, London and Canterbury Cathedral.<\/p>\n The first talk Who do you think you are?: The use of genealogies in the Construction of Identity from the bible to the BBC<\/em> by Rabbi Dr Deborah Kahn-Harris begins at 19.00 on Wednesday 1 May in the Clagett Auditorium, Cathedral Lodge.<\/p>\n Tickets should be booked in advance<\/a> and are priced at \u00a38 each or \u00a335 for the series. Teachers and students (school and university) can pre-book free tickets by e-mailing directorofeducation@canterbury-cathedral.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n Yvonne Sherwood<\/a>, Professor of Biblical Cultures and Politics in the Department of Religious Studies said: \u2018Each speaker will use the beautiful twelfth Century Bible windows<\/a> in Canterbury Cathedral to reflect on ethical and philosophical questions. After the fire at Notre Dame, there has seldom been a more timely moment to visit our local Cathedral.\u2019<\/p>\n The complete programme is available at https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/see-through-stories\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
