Faith, Poetry and the University: An Interview with Rowan Williams
October 22, 2024 | By Zeki Tan MY ‘25
Rowan Williams is the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury. He taught theology at Oxford and Cambridge and served as the Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, from 2013 to 2020. Dr. Williams is also a poet and translator of poetry; he published his most recent edition of Collected Poems in 2022. In February 2024 he delivered the Taylor Lectures at the Yale Divinity School. I interviewed Dr. Williams while he was in New Haven to discuss his reflections on writing poetry, intellectual life, and how both enrich and are enriched by religious belief. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

The Thick, Confusing Middle
March 25, 2024 | By Michaela Wang BK ‘25
Whether we like it or not, we are all running the race of life, marked characteristically by an uncomfortable in-betweenness, where we question our motives and senses of purpose. This season of Lent, let us reflect on how our faith lives intersect with this race, as we focus on God’s presence amid our own trust.
