About this Event
Join us for a day of teaching, prayer and reflection as we explore John’s Gospel this Lent and beyond. As we encounter Jesus in the words of John, the Holy Spirit invites us to meet God - the divine Word - afresh.
Our guide for the day is Professor David F. Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity Emeritus at the University of Cambridge and an internationally renowned expert on John’s Gospel. Professor Ford is the author of The Gospel of John (2021) and Meeting God in John, a companion for Lent, Easter and beyond. Both books will be available to purchase from the Cathedral Shop.
