7pm each evening in Salisbury Cathedral. Sarum Theological Lectures: Glory and Longing with Dr Christopher Southgate. Glory is a term that pervades Christian scripture and worship, yet its meaning is elusive. These lectures will begin from the Hebrew roots of the concept of glory in the underlying meaning of weight, substance. To understand divine glory as a sign of what is most deeply real opens the possibility of glimpsing glory in silence, in absence, in pain, as well as in blinding beauty.
