We breathe your name: tools for your vocal toolkit

14 March (10.30am - 4pm, Edward King Chapel, Ripon College, Cuddesdon)

A practical workshop to help you explore how to sing with more freedom and enjoyment, The less we have to think about how to sing, the more we can focus on the why. Tools and building blocks will include exercises that help breath and support of sound, the Continuum of music and how best to shape the vowel before we sing it. This workshop is for all singers of all levels of experience. It will be lots of fun so please come along! Small building blocks! A quick phrase to learn before the class: ‘Vowels carry the voice and consonants carry the text’.

Leader: Ryland Angel, a Grammy-nominated British opera singer and vocalist, composer and teacher, Fellow of the Institute of Advanced Study (University of Minnesota).

Digging Deeper into the NT Texts on Same-Sex Relationships

21 March and 25 April 

Participants in our recent LLF training days have requested that we explore in-depth the NT texts that have been central to the debates in Living in Love and Faith. So, we will address them on this study day.

As this will be in-depth study, we will move at the pace of those attending but we will aim to work through as many as we can cover during the day, beginning with Romans 1:18-32. We will be contextualising them in their literary context and in their cultural context in second Temple Judaism and Hellenism.

Please bring your Bible. You are also welcome to bring your Greek New Testaments, but no knowledge of Greek will be necessary to fully participate in the day.

3 spaces available for 21st March. Book here.

Please email us if you're interested in booking for a further session or have any questions about these workshops.

Presenters: Revd Dr Andy Angel and Revd Dr Jenni Williams
