Seven Letters to the Churches

This is the second talk in a series of theology lectures taking place at Hexham Abbey alongside the Threads Through Revelation exhibition by renowned textile artist Jacqui Parkinson.

The second lecture, entitled Seven Letters to the Churches, will be given by the Reverend Richard Steele.

Seven Churches. Seven Messages. One Extraordinary Revelation.

“What can seem mysterious, symbolic and difficult to understand begins to come vividly to life when we discover the real churches behind the words.

Seven churches. Seven very different communities. Seven carefully targeted messages of challenge, encouragement and hope.

Drawing on my background as an archaeologist before ordination, I’ll explore the historical and cultural world of these churches and share insights gained from visiting each of their ancient sites.

Discover how understanding these seven messages opens up the rest of Revelation, revealing a book that is not only fascinating and surprising, but still speaks powerfully to the Church today.”
