Etty Hillesum – Forging a Spirituality of Hope in Dark Times

with Rev Canon Patrick  Woodhouse

Friday 13th to Sunday 15th March

Over this weekend we shall, first, explore the remarkable story of Etty Hillesum, a young Jewish diarist who, in the early years of the war through discovering an unconventional faith found her life was transformed, and who became an inspirational figure in the transit camp where all the Dutch Jews were sent on their way to Auschwitz. 

And then we shall ask: what can the spirituality that she forged in that very darkest of times say to us in the midst of the anxieties and the fears and the multiple overwhelmings of our times? 

Patrick Woodhouse is an Anglican priest, and was formerly a Canon of Wells Cathedral.   He is the author of Etty Hillesum, a Life Transformed, and Life in the Psalms, Contemporary Meanings in Ancient Texts (both published by Bloomsbury).   He lives with his wife Sam in Wells in Somerset.  

Suggested donation £160.
