Y Dr Malcolm Guite
Ein pregethwr yn y Cymun Bendigaid ar Gân a Bendithiad y Sagrafen Fendigaid ar y Llun, y Mawrth a'r Mercher Glân am 6.00pm yw'r Parchg Ddr Malcolm Guite.
Mae Malcolm Guite wedi disgrifio’i hun fel “bardd, offeiriad, roc a rholer, ym mha bynnag drefn y mynnwch.” Bu’n ddiweddar yn Gaplan Coleg Girton, Caergrawnt, a dilynodd Ronald Blythe fel un o golofnwyr wythnosol y Church Times.
Am ei gerddi, a glywn yn ystod yr Wythnos Fawr, ebe Rowan Williams, cyn Archesgob Cymru, fod iddynt
“gynildeb a grym pob soned dda, gan dro ar ôl tro gynnig i’r darllenydd roddion dwfn er mwyn gweddïo a myfyrio.”
Mae ei lyfr diweddaraf, Lifting the Veil: Imagination and the Kingdom of God, yn amddiffyniad egnïol o’r dychymyg creadigol fel “cynneddf sy’n dwyn y gwirionedd.”
Dr Malcolm Guite
Our preacher at the Choral Holy Eucharist and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament on Holy Monday, Holy Tuesday and Holy Wednesday at 6.00pm is the Revd Dr Malcolm Guite.
Malcolm Guite has described himself as “poet, priest, rock & roller, in any order you like.” He was latterly Chaplain of Girton College, Cambridge, and succeeded Ronald Blythe as the writer of a weekly column in the Church Times.
Of his sonnets, which will form part of our liturgies during Holy Week, Rowan Williams, sometime Archbishop of Wales, wrote that they
“have the economy and pungency of all good sonnets, and again and again, offer deep resources for prayer and meditation to the reader.”
His most recent book, Lifting the Veil: Imagination and the Kingdom of God, is a vigorous defence of the artistic imagination as a “truth-bearing faculty.”
