Hay 2026: The Writing Life of Faith

All Things Considered

Available for 29 days

Rosa Hunt leads a discussion about the long tradition of clergy as writers. From poetry to fiction, we ask what drives ministers to write and whether it belongs within鈥攐r beyond鈥攖heir calling. Through candid conversation, they examine questions of time, honesty and purpose, and whether writing becomes an extension of ministry or a space to challenge, reflect and communicate a deeper worldview. Joining Rosa are: Elinor Wyn Reynolds A Welsh poet and novelist from Carmarthen, her first novel was Gwirionedd. She also serves as General Secretary of the Union of Welsh Independents. Mark Clavier An Anglican priest, theologian and author of non-fiction books and his first novel, Tillers of the Soil. Nathan Munday A Welsh writer from Carmarthenshire, known for fiction and non fiction, including his novel Whaling and earlier travel writing.
