A Thousand Words – Richard Holloway
For our summer special podcast, Anne has chosen a favourite Thousand Words interview from over the last year. It’s her conversation with Richard Holloway which was the ‘Thousand Words’ feature in November 2020.
Anne says she chose it: “For a whole range of reasons, but mainly because I think what he said resonates with just about everyone. People of faith – and people of no faith. Young and old. Women and Men. Gay and Straight. Through years of study and reflection – tussling with scripture – wrestling with God – Richard has acquired both an inclusive language and a compassionate gaze.”
In July’s podcast, Anne also mentions that Richard Holloway will be at this year’s Edinburgh Book Festival. Details below, along with some other recommendations!
