Love in Thin Places

Love in Thin Places is a new collection of poems by David Grieve, a chaplain at Durham Cathedral. With him we walk around the building that is both practical and poetic, a space for sanctuary and prayers spoken and unspoken, for human encounters and burning questions, and also for university events, concerts and exhibitions. As a Thin Place, where heaven and earth touch, it is here that God can be and is found, in its beautiful chapels dedicated to much-loved saints like Bede, Hild and Cuthbert, but also in encounters with the pilgrims and visitors of today and in the experiences of seeking and sometimes finding God of which the confessions of this chaplain speak.
