Virtual Theology Chat with Jane Simpson

May 17, 2021

7 pm 20 May Dr Jane Simpson:

The Farewelling of a Home: writing and publishing a new liturgy.

Last year, as I was writing an academic article, a new liturgy was born. Unlikely as this sounds, reviewers have said that ‘The Farewelling of a Home’ is grounded in scholarship, the rigour of a poet and the restraint and beauty found in our Anglican liturgies over time. Published as a book this year, the liturgy was written to meet an expressed need, for people leaving their homes for last time. For it to be used by those who need it most I became a publisher.

I dream that every parish in our Anglican Communion and beyond will have a set of five copies to lend out each time a home is farewelled, whether after a natural disaster, when the householder is moving into a retirement village, or due to a global pandemic. You are all the potential users and I welcome your ideas and suggestions to make this new liturgy known within and beyond our shores.

Jane Simpson

Dr Jane Simpson is a poet and historian based in Christchurch.

She has taught social history and religious studies in universities in Australia and New Zealand. She has two full length poetry collections and last year won awards in two international poetry competitions. Her latest book is The Farewelling of a Home: a liturgy and her website is www.poiema.co.nz

What is a Virtual Theology Chat?

Virtual Theology Chats are an innovative opportunity to share research projects, publications, reflections, and interests, with a wide and interested audience of women associated with the Anglican Women’s Studies Centre.  Speakers may be post graduate students, advanced practitioners , enthusiasts , creatives and  thinkers.

Format: Using Zoom, the presenter speaks for up to 20 minutes, then the host invites comments, questions and responses from the virtual audience. There may also be short break out groups. The chat ends after 1 hour.

Virtual Theology Chats are at 7pm , on the third Thursday of the month (usually)

If you would like to offer a Virtual Theology Chat, please contact Ceridwyn Parr, Administrator, Anglican Women’s Studies Centre . 0275 73 80 73   anglicanwomenstudies@gmail.com     www.anglicanwomen.nz

Wisdom from members

I AM CHANGING
Bless the confusion. Let it be.
Commend it to Earth
– like autumn leaves,
scattering, half-rotten,
seeding the future,
becoming fertile food,
for sleeping rose roots.
Be a leaf. Lie low. Be blown.
Receive rain. Fly to Earth.
Become a rose.
I bless the confusion and let be
– between seasons, I am
changing into me
